The first in the series of My Story Hotels, the 12 Santa Catarina flats are smack dab in the heart.

Sleekly modern style throughout is a cool juxtaposition to these digs’ historic centre adjacent address.

Frill-free digs with a killer address on the central square.

Backlit botanical façade sets the tone. Stylish interiors take it from there, loaded with graphic-print wall-coverings and chic retro touches.

Tucked inside a group of fab listed buildings next to Batalha Square – an ideal spot for strolling, shopping and beverage sipping.

Each of the 10 rooms is a mini history lesson, named for French/Portuguese lovers like Alexandra and Filipe, José and Josephine, etc.

These striking digs boast a duo of restos, a fab wine cellar(!), an interior garden, library and more.

Minutes on foot to the metro. (Score!)

Who doesn’t want to stay in a spacious modern room next to a Baroque riverside palace built in 1742?

Just outside the city for some peace & quiet, but the nearby metro will get you to the centre in a flash.

Sip & savor time: the bar has stellar views of the city.
