BAIRRO ALTO General Manager Gonçalo Gonçalves, head of the hotel since early 2020, has come a long way in the hospitality industry since 1993, holding leading positions at many significant hotels of Portugal.
“9 years of my career I was lucky enough to work at the Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon, which was the first big hotel of my career, — says Gonçalo Gonçalves. — Then I was offered to go to work abroad, but I decided to stay in Portugal due to family reasons, and the next step was the unique hotel São Lourenço do Barrocal in Alentejo. The experience of working in these unique hotel has given me a lot for further professional realization. When I returned to Lisbon, I took over as General Manager at BAIRRO ALTO HOTEL, just 3 weeks before the pandemic started. It was a real challenge. However, despite everything, our team continued to work on the internal processes of the hotel and its improvements. And I can say that only from July 1, 2021, after the restrictions were lifted and our hotel reopened for visitors again, I was able to fully and joyfully feel its normal operation”.
TEJO SUITE: Modern Touch
The suites of BAIRRO ALTO HOTEL have been carefully designed to provide all guests with a stay marked by luxury and glamor not forgetting the touch of modernity and comfort.
In every suite you can breathe the soul of Lisbon, which has been carefully reflected in every detail. A stay in any of hotel’s suites will be remembered as a special experience, one you will certainly wish to repeat.
With a generous view over Lisbon’s rooftops and unique luminosity, iconic TEJO suite’s handpicked decoration, colors and materials combine comfort and tranquility with the sophistication you’d expect from a luxury hotel.
It also offers a living room, ideal for relaxing moments, and allows communication to complementary rooms (Classic Tejo or Classic Tejo + Prestige Tejo).
There is also a very elegant bathroom with shower, bathtub, heated floors and plenty of natural light, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer and perfumes from a well-known brand LE LABO.
ROOFTOP BAR
In addition to the famous BAHR restaurant, where you can enjoy Portuguese cuisine created by Chef Nuno Mendes and Executive Chef Bruno Rocha, you should definitely go up to the top floor of the hotel.
ROOFTOP offers an exceptional view of the Tagus River, a view of Lisbon rooftops and an atmosphere conducive to relaxation in a privileged setting.
Here, you will be offered to experience light snacks of a new menu by Bruno Rocha, accompanied by exotic mocktails and exclusive cocktails by Restaurant BAHR Bar Manager Tiago Santos.
“We are now re-conceptualizing the Rooftop Bar with a great emphasis on the gastronomic experience in the form of small snacks & bites that are the perfect complement to the updated cocktail menu”, — continues Gonçalo Gonçalves.
Lovers of non-alcoholic cocktails should definitely try:
Chai Mule (Prana Chai syrup, Lime juice, Walnut, Soda);
Rue Coffee (Paragon Rue Cordial, Coldbrew Coffee Tonic)
“Many guests go to Rooftop for an aperitif before dinner at BAHR, or vice versa after dinner to continue the evening. On the contrary, we are changing Rooftop into a full-fledged concept of “Food & Drink”, where people can not only taste sophisticated drinks, but also get vivid gastronomic emotions from the new menu”.

The hotel team, led by the General Manager, make every effort to ensure that your stay at the hotel brings the best emotions and impressions, in order to feel the true soul of Lisbon and its authenticity.
Gonçalo Gonçalves: “I prefer to work in small luxury hotels like BAIRRO ALTO HOTEL. This is a more niche market and a more exclusive level that allows to deliver more unique experiences for the guests. For me, from the point of view of self-development and realisation of professional ambitions, such hotel concept is an ideal platform for this. We make every effort to ensure that stay at our hotel brings the best emotions and impressions, with a feel of true Lisbon soul and authenticity. At every step we ensure an individual approach to every guest and we feel happy with that”.
