Accor Hotels has created ALL _Accor Live Limitless_, a loyalty programme, now at the Hotel Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade, with experiences for unforgettable moments.
Located on Avenida Liberdade, in the heart of Lisbon, Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade reopens after the pandemic with a renewed atmosphere and a new restaurant: Matiz. In addition, the hotel offers a loyalty programme with multiple activities to enjoy the gastronomy and the city.
A hotel inspired by French ‘Art de Vivre’ brought together by a cast of contemporary Portuguese artists
The first impression when you enter a hotel counts for a lot, and for more than two years, the Accor group has been working on eliminating the traditional reception bar so that guests are received in a friendly manner where check-in takes place at individual counters distributed throughout the lobby.

While the receptionist completes your check-in details you can have a drink at the elegant bar in the Art Nouveau-inspired lobby or relax on the sofas. The aim is to have the feel at home with all the comforts and services of a hotel.

Spacious and open spaces dressed with the contemporary works of local Lisbon artists are part of the hotel’s heritage and are the setting for the latest trends in decoration.

The new Matiz restaurant: Portuguese cuisine at street level
Chef Daniel Schlaipfer gives his own touch to all his signature dishes at the new Matiz, a concept inspired by Portuguese cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. As Mayka Rodríguez, general manager, points out:
At MATIZ we bring history to the present through the innovation of much-loved Portuguese dishes, while maintaining their authentic soul.
