Scene
Upscale property with eight creatively designed floors
The upscale Hotel Lutecia and the next-door Teatro Maria Matos opened in 1969, and have since hosted Portuguese celebrities such as Herman Jose, Raul Solnado, and Nicolau Breyner. The property was renovated in 2014. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the sleek and modern lobby. A dimly lit TV lounge in the lobby offers leather comfy seating and a flat-screen TV. The top eight floors of the 11-floor property are uniquely designed with fun themes. For example, the fifth floor (the Sunflower Floor) features sunburst designs on yellow walls. The 10th floor is decorated in psychedelic carpeting and has gold and black decor and dangling disco balls casting lights by the elevators. New York takes over the 11th floor and iconic Big Apple photos hang on the walls of the hallways.
