Eco-friendly boutique hotel Inspira Santa Marta in Lisbon, Portugal

Inspira Santa Marta hotel in central Lisbon breathes sustainability throughout. A true champion of combining environmentally friendly business practice with a boutique experience.

Why stay at Inspira Santa Marta hotel

Modern, 4 star boutique hotel with Feng Shui decoration. Serenity and well-being are at the core of this hotel, which was built with environmental, social and economic sustainability in mind. Inspira Santa Marta is unique in how it uses Feng Shui-inspired decoration for its rooms.

Also in the spirit of Feng Shui is the spacious wooden lobby, where Portuguese-made sofa spaces have been intelligently put together to create a comfortable living room atmosphere.

Location & neighborhood

Very central. Inspira Santa Marta Hotel is located in Rua Santa Marta, which runs parallel to Lisbon’s famous Avenida de Libertade, which leads from the Placa Marques Bombal all the way down to the sea. Avenida metro station is about 5 minutes walk. Buses to the airport leave from Placa Marques Bombal, which is about 10 minutes walking distance (uphill when leaving from the hotel).

Around the hotel, many of the houses are old and not yet renovated, which gives the area a slightly rustic atmosphere, which is in stark contrast to the luxury shops and glamorous hotels just a hundred meters away.

Tip: Give the receptionists at Inspira Santa Marta your birth day and they can calculate your Feng Shui element, be it water, earth, fire, etc, together with its significance. We absolutely loved it!
