Local artistry on display
Martinhal Lisbon Oriente serves as a canvas for some of Portugal’s most renowned artists. Bordalo II’s captivating sculptures crafted from recycled materials are a testament to sustainability and environmental awareness. Guests can marvel at his creations, such as “The Lionesses,” made from discarded plastic, toys, and nets, which adorn the hotel’s reception area. Throughout the hotel, Graça Paz’s colorful abstracts and Kruella d’Enfer’s striking murals offer glimpses into the diverse artistic landscape of Lisbon.
Exploring Lisbon‘s art and more
Beyond the hotel, Lisbon is a treasure trove of artistic wonders waiting to be discovered. Wander through the winding streets of Alfama and Bairro Alto to uncover hidden gems of street art, or venture to LX Factory, a creative hub where old warehouses have been transformed into galleries and studios. Art enthusiasts will find themselves enchanted by the city’s eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional art, from the vibrant graffiti adorning alleyways to the elegant sculptures gracing public squares.
But there’s more. Perched atop Sintra’s verdant hills, the National Palace of Pena is a stunning testament to Portugal’s rich heritage. Originally a monastery, it was transformed into a romantic retreat for Queen Maria II and Prince Ferdinand. Its vibrant colors and eclectic architecture make it a captivating landmark. From its opulent interiors to its panoramic views of the Sintra Mountains, a visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site promises an unforgettable experience steeped in history and beauty.
