Director of Catering Sales

About Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon:

Located in the heart of Lisbon, our historic Hotel wears the cultural heart and soul of Portugal on its sleeve. Inside, art-deco sensibilities mingle with an updated Louis XVI style, and a collection of important contemporary local artwork fills our halls. Outside, views of the city’s rolling hills and brightly tiled exteriors spread out before you. 

The hotels extensive outside terrace overlooking Eduardo VII Park, offers a true resort feel with its new outdoor pool and lush garden.

An urban oasis with a spa and indoor pool, and a rooftop fitness center with an outdoor running track overlooking the city’s seven hills.

Varanda, the modern restaurant vaunts top-level cuisine. It is famous for the generous brunch and varied menu of gourmet delicacies.

Skillful curatorship – “curadoria” in Portuguese – lies at the heart of CURA, the hotel’s new restaurant where young Michelin-starred Chef and head culinary curator Pedro Pena Bastos selects his ingredients as meticulously as an artist chooses his paints, drawing from Lisbon’s rich regional palette of seasonal ingredients to create artisanal dishes of great depth, taste and meaning.

The most recent project- an outdoor swimming pool and bar with under-water music. The Hotel’s new pool area is a sophisticated oasis perfect for enjoying and relaxing dip with a refreshing drink. The Pool Bar’s menu offers a good selection of food, petiscos, drinks and Lisbon-inspired cocktails.
