Located in the heart of the vibrant Chiado neighborhood, The Ivens Autograph Collection is a unique blend of Mediterranean charm and tranquility, a testament to the intrepid global explorers Roberto Ivens and Hermenegildo Capelo.

Renowned designer Cristina Matos has carefully curated the decor of the rooms and suites to cultivate a sense of tranquility and purity, providing a sanctuary for weary travelers to rejuvenate.
