Vermelho Melides is a unique boutique hotel located in the tranquil town of Melides on Portugal's Alentejo coast. Designed by world-renowned designer Christian Louboutin, the hotel is his first hotel worldwide. The name "Vermelho," meaning "red" in Portuguese, refers to the distinctive color of the designer's famous shoe soles.
The hotel offers just 13 individually designed rooms and suites, ensuring an intimate atmosphere, privacy, and the highest level of service. The interiors are a delightful blend of Portuguese craftsmanship, local art, and eclectic design inspired by the owner's travels.
The hotel's greatest asset is its unique character. Instead of minimalist luxury, bold colors, Portuguese azulejos, handcrafted furniture, artwork, and numerous details inspired by the owner's travels around the world dominate the hotel. The hotel boasts the excellent Xtian restaurant, an intimate garden with a swimming pool, and elegant common spaces reminiscent of an art collector's private home.
Vermelho is perfect for a few days' stopover during your trip to Portugal, especially when combined with a stay in Lisbon, Comporta, Évora, or the wineries of the Alentejo region. It's one of the most original and stylish hotels in Portugal, chosen for a stylish stay and vacation by travelers seeking a place with soul, not just another all-inclusive hotel.
Melides, just a dozen years ago, was virtually unknown outside of Portugal. Today, it's one of the most desirable destinations in the Alentejo region, attracting artists, designers, and those who appreciate understated luxury. Unlike the large coastal resorts, small white houses, local restaurants, art galleries, and the relaxed pace of life characteristic of the Portuguese south dominate here.
