The Editory Riverside Santa Apolónia Hotel — Where Lisbon’s Journeys Begin

In the heart of Lisbon, perched on the banks of the Tagus River and housed inside the historic Santa Apolónia Station, The Editory Riverside Santa Apolónia Hotel offers more than a stay—it offers a story. The building has been a gateway for travellers since the 19th century, and now it invites you to become part of that narrative.

Arrival & The Setting

You step into the grand neoclassical façade of Santa Apolónia Station—a symbol of arrivals, departures, countless journeys. The Editory Riverside re-imagines that legacy. Inside, the lobby evokes both movement and stillness: polished floors, soft lighting, the hum of travel just beyond—but here, you pause. From your window, the Tagus glints, boats drift by, and Lisbon unfolds at your feet.

Set at Avenida Infante D. Henrique 1, just a ten-minute walk from the historic centre, the location combines riverside calm with city energy.

Rooms & Interiors: Between Travel & Tranquility

With 126 rooms across multiple typologies—from “Station View” rooms overlooking the railway concourse to “River View with Balcony” suites where the Tagus becomes your horizon—each space reflects the hotel’s theme of journey and place.

Design touches nod to the station’s past: vintage-inspired décor, rich materials, and subtle references to rails and travel. But comfort is fully modern: coffee machine, quality linens, free WiFi, individually controlled climate.

Dining & Atmosphere

The hotel’s restaurant offers a “Fun Dining” concept—Portuguese classics re-interpreted with international flair, served in a space that bridges the station’s heritage with contemporary hospitality.

In the bar, the mood shifts from transit to repose: ambient lights, riverside views, an aperitif on the terrace as the sun sets over Lisbon’s rooftops.
