Artsy Cascais is a five-star boutique hotel housed in a 19th-century manor house located in Lisbon’s seaside town of Cascais.
Artsy is housed in a historic palacete, originally constructed in 1899, is complemented by a contemporary structure adorned with a facade by renowned Portuguese artist Vhils.
Artsy Cascais was conceived by Francisco Maria Balsemão, who transformed his family's summer house into this five-star boutique hotel. The interior design, led by Marta Carreira, incorporates elements from the local environment, reflecting the colours, textures, and natural beauty of the nearby beaches and Cascais' elegant charm. The hotel showcases artworks by artists such as Alice Morey, Daniel Lergon, João Gabriel, and João Vasco Paiva, as well as Fipsi Seilern’s reinterpretation of a Rembrandt self-portrait.
Other highlights include the heated rooftop pool, the Library Bar, and the Art Restaurante, which features a menu crafted by Chef Daniel Estriga, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients.

We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at Vermelho. Highlights included the array of Portuguese and French pastries that were brought to your table and the perfectly cooked a-la-carte eggs. Breakfast was delicious but also beautifully arranged, featuring tableware from Vida Dura.
Elisabeth Lincot's installation, Lagrima de Loros, graces an exterior hearth at Vermelho with glazed and colourful ceramic bird heads.
