Born in Oporto, Aloísio Brito is a photographer who has been working in both national and international markets for more than eight years across several fields, including advertising, portrait and fashion. He is also a professor at the Portuguese Institute of Photography.

In 2001, Aloísio moved to London to enroll at the London College Of Printing (University of Arts London). He has since worked with a number of brands and advertising agencies while shooting editorials, catalogues and books for modelling agencies.

His true passion is portrait photography, since he consideres it the best way to take full advantage of his creativity. Aloísio has showed his work in several spaces and art galleries including the House of Culture in Trofa and the Hard Club in Oporto.

Palacio Belmonte is about light, art, privacy, views, attitude and lifestyle. A tranquil heaven at the top of a historic hill and the most acclaimed hotel in Lisbon - a house for whom luxury is synonymous with encountering one’s emotions.

Each of the 11 exquisite suites is an original masterpiece with distinctive character, blending historic architectural features with the utmost comfort in contemporary design. Stunning terraces afford breath-taking views, while a discreet, attentive and imaginative team handle the rest.

Find the magic behind the red doors. Take one suite or take it all in exclusivity.

Cascais is a town of charming old houses and cobbled streets huddled around a graceful bay on Portugal’s spectacular Estoril Coast. A short walk from its historical centre stands the Farol Hotel, a daring architectural project directly overlooking the Atlantic and the delightful fishing boats of the local Marina.

Housed in a remodeled 19th-century mansion once owned by the Count of Cabral, the Farol Hotel combines the old and new infrastructure with a unique contemporary design, resulting in a harmonious bridge in time. All spaces have been redefined in sophisticated black and white, making the contrast between modern, minimalist interior and historic, traditional exterior even more striking.

The garden area has been rearranged to further blur the boundaries between the hotel and its stunning natural surroundings.

30 guest rooms and three suites offer stunning ocean views - amongst them, nine designer rooms individually “dressed for bliss” by acclaimed Portuguese fashion designers. Room amenities include a hydro-massage bath tub, king or twin size bed, cable TV, Wi-Fi, safe-deposit box and, in some cases, a balcony or terrace. Though Lisbon is only a 25-minute drive away and the shopping streets and esplanades of downtown Cascais right around the corner, guests may find it hard to leave the dazzling design environment of the Farol Hotel.
