| With the aim of placing Lisboa on the level of the big European cities, Hotel do Império was inaugurated in the 1940s, a time where modernism and luxury ruled. Designed by Cassiano Branco, famous portuguese architect, this elegant building has become an icon for the Estado Novo's society until 1974, when it was rebaptized with the fall of the fascist regime. It was only after the troubled period of the revolution that the now named Hotel Britania was restored in its original Art Deco style, combining its genuine ambiance with the comfort and conveniences of the present time. Due to its size and atmosphere, this Heritage Hotel reminds an exclusive club, where each member is a guest that will always want to come back. | |||
