Mitten im Zentrum der portugiesischen Hauptstadt, in einer Seitenstraße der Avenida da Liberdade, der Prachtstraße Lissabons, liegt «Hotel Hotel». Lissabon hat unzählige Hotels, und die Popularität der portugiesischen Hauptstadt hat in den letzten Jahren immer mehr zugenommen. Mancherorts spricht man bereits von Overtourism. In der Unmenge der Übernachtungsangebote ist das 4-Sterne-Hotel mit dem einprägsamen Namen etwas Besonderes und sticht aus dem Einerlei der Hotellerie heraus.

Alexandre Martins, der Kopf hinter «Hotel Hotel», hat das Konzept in einem Interview beschrieben: Menschen zusammenbringen und ihnen eine Bühne geben, auf der sie glänzen können. Dies gelingt ihm mit «Hotel Hotel» grandios und gleich auf vielerlei Arten. Bereits die Fassade des Hotels mit seinen dreidimensionalen, glänzenden, grünen Fliesen – Azulejos – genannt, bietet der Künstlerin Maria Ana Vasco Costa eine Bühne für ihre großartige Arbeit und zeigt den Gäst:innen bereits von außen, dass dies ein besonderer Ort ist.

Hinter der Rezeption hängt das von Hand gezeichnete lebensgroße Bild eines Elefanten. Die Künstlerin Teresa Esgaio hat das Bild so detailliert gezeichnet, dass man es für eine Fotografie halten könnte. Das Bild hat einen poetischen und tragischen Hintergrund mit einem letztlich glücklichen Ausgang. Auf dem Höhepunkt der portugiesischen Entdeckungen besaß König Manuel I. eine Sammlung exotischer Tiere, zu der auch Elefanten gehörten. Er hatte gehört, dass die aus Indien neu eingetroffenen Nashörner die Erzfeinde der Elefanten seien, und so ließ er die beiden Tiere am 3. Juni 1515 in einem öffentlichen Kampf in Lissabon gegeneinander antreten. Der Kampf fand nicht statt. Beim Anblick des Nashorns floh der Elefant.

Steigt man im dritten Stock aus dem Fahrstuhl, blickt man auf „O Avô“ - den Großvater, das Porträt eines Mannes gefertigt aus nicht gebrauchten Fliesen von dem Lissaboner Design- und Künstlerkollektiv Studio Pedrita. Ein kleines Schwarzweißfoto, zufällig auf der Straße gefunden, und auf dessen Rückseite die Aufschrift „mein Großvater“ gekritzelt war, wurde so zu erstaunlicher Kunst.

Ein weiterer besonderer Ort ist der Poolbereich im hinteren Teil des Hotels. Er mutet an wie ein weiteres Haus dessen Stahldachkonstruktion nicht gedeckt wurde, sondern stattdessen mit Pflanzen in ein lichtes und grünes Dach verwandelt wurde, das Sonne durchlässt und Schatten spendet. Der gesamte Bereich wurde von dem Landschaftsarchitekten Michael Hellgren entworfen und umgesetzt, der sich auf die Gestaltung vertikaler Gärten spezialisiert hat. Mehr als 150 verschiedene Pflanzenarten machen den Außenbereich des Hotels – der auch nahtlos in den Restaurantbereich übergeht - zu einem üppig-grünen und ruhigen Ort inmitten einer hektischen Stadt. Perfekt, um abends einen Cocktail zu nehmen oder im Hotelrestaurant ANIMAL zu essen.

Letztendlich sind es aber die Mitarbeitenden des Hotels in ihren auffälligen grün, schwarz, blau gescheckten und von Brasilien inspirierten Pullovern und T-Shirts, die mit ihrer Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft dafür sorgen, dass die Gäst:innen des Hotels auf eine Bühne gehoben werden und ihren Aufenthalt im «Hotel Hotel» genießen können.

Right in the center of the Portuguese capital, in a side street of Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon's boulevard, lies "Hotel Hotel". Lisbon has countless hotels, and the popularity of the Portuguese capital has increased more and more in recent years. In some places, people are already talking about over-tourism. Among the plethora of accommodations on offer, the 4-star hotel with the catchy name is something special and stands out from the monotony of the hotel industry.

Alexandre Martins, the brains behind "Hotel Hotel," described the concept in an interview: Bring people together and give them a stage on which they can shine. With "Hotel Hotel" he succeeds grandiosely and in many ways. Already the facade of the hotel with its three-dimensional, shiny, green tiles - called azulejos - offers the artist Maria Ana Vasco Costa a stage for her great work and shows the guests already from the outside that this is a special place.

Behind the reception hangs a hand-drawn life-size image of an elephant. Artist Teresa Esgaio has drawn the image in such detail that it could be mistaken for a photograph. The image has a poetic and tragic background with an ultimately happy outcome. At the height of the Portuguese discoveries, King Manuel I had a collection of exotic animals that included elephants. He had heard that the rhinos newly arrived from India were the elephants' archenemies, and so he had the two animals face off in a public fight in Lisbon on June 3, 1515. The fight did not take place. At the sight of the rhinoceros, the elephant fled.

Stepping out of the elevator on the third floor, one gazes upon "O Avô" - the Grandfather, a portrait of a man made from unused tiles by the Lisbon design and artist collective Studio Pedrita. A small black and white photo, found by chance on the street, with the words "my grandfather" scrawled on the back, thus became amazing art.

Another special place is the pool area in the back of the hotel. It looks like another house whose steel roof structure has not been covered, but instead has been transformed with plants into a light and green roof that lets in sun and provides shade. The entire area was designed and implemented by landscape architect Michael Hellgren, who specializes in vertical garden design. More than 150 different species of plants make the hotel's outdoor area, which also flows seamlessly into the restaurant area, a lush, green and tranquil place in the middle of a bustling city. Perfect for sipping a cocktail in the evening or dining at the hotel's ANIMAL restaurant.

Ultimately, though, it's the hotel's staff, in their eye-catching green, black, blue, Brazilian-inspired sweaters and T-shirts, whose friendliness and helpfulness ensure that the hotel's guests are elevated to a stage where they can enjoy their stay at "Hotel Hotel."

The stage on which you shine: "Hotel Hotel" in Lisbon
