Designed for the modern day global traveler
This building opened its doors in 2011 as a luxuryhostel concept with amazing facilities for travelersand backpackers. Created in a beautifully restored19th century building, Gallery Hostel offers its guestswith an authentic Portuguese experience andhospitality. Our concept is based on art, where everyroom is named after an important local artist anddesigned based on their work. An exhibition spacewas also created to allow new artists to showcasetheir work. The Gallery Hostel building mainlyrepresents contemporary artists of our community. In2015 and 2019, extending our portfolio, we openedGallery Home and Gallery Townhouse respectively.Gallery Home represents classical artists withheritage elements of Portuguese culture whereasGallery Townhouse is contemporary artists.


The latter, also a 19th century building, maintains itshistoric ceilings, hand-carved moldings, and originalmanual dumbwaiter.
