Imagine staying in a meticulously restored 18th-century aristocrat’s manor — one that feels a sanctuary that embraces you with intimate familiarity while simultaneously soaring majestically above Lisbon’s skyline.
The Verride Palácio de Santa Catarina gives you just that vibe.
With only 18 rooms and suites, including the expansive Royal Wing — a favorite of Robert De Niro — this is Lisbon at its most intimate and opulent. Every detail echoes nobility: Original Rococo moldings, silk-lined walls, antique chandeliers, and hand-painted tiles. Yet the refinement is far from dated.

Sunlight floods in through river-facing windows, heated floors bring year-round comfort, and bespoke Portuguese furnishings offer modern elegance without compromising heritage. The magic of Verride is no accident.
Dutch art collector and floral designer Kees Eijord, who acquired the property after a decade-long legal battle with Lisbon’s city council, transformed it into a luxury haven with the help of architect Teresa Nunes da Ponte and designer Andrea Previ.
The result? A residence that blends aristocratic soul with contemporary sophistication. Service here is quietly regal. From personalized breakfasts in the glass-walled Winter Garden to the rooftop pool and bar overlooking the Tagus and 25th of April Bridge, every touch feels intentional.
And at SUBA, the hotel’s fine-dining gem recognized by the Michelin Guide, Portuguese classics are reimagined with elegance and restraint. In essence, this is not simply a hotel — it’s a sanctuary where heritage, hospitality, and personal space converge. For the modern executive, Verride Palácio is Lisbon’s best-kept secret.
