\"La
A stay at the 9Hotel Mercy for an autumn getaway in Lisbon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some are staring in disbelief and talk about a miracle. Others are savouring a world thought left behind.\u00a0A world\u00a0of peaceful streets, of a laid-back atmosphere, allowing you to stop someone to ask them the time without causing a commotion. A world in which the famous yellow tram, wheezy and sluggish as ever, still clambers up the hill, ringing its bell. A world of lingering chatter on cobblestones polished by centuries of unhurried steps. Happy Lisbon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, you look up. You take in the fa\u00e7ades, sculpted or covered in glazed tiles, the balconies, stone and wrought iron, the stately doors that tell the stories of palaces, monasteries, courtyards. Or maybe a secret passageway leading you to the terrace of a trendy caf\u00e9. Glass of vinho verde (an unpretentious white wine) in one hand, pasteis de nata (mini custard pie served warm, to die for) in the other, welcome to the Chiado, the capital\u2019s enchanting neighbourhood. Combining the patina of time, the bustle of the city, small shops, an arty atmosphere, and the simple pleasure of being here.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9Hotel Mercy: darkness and light<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This building was\u00a0placed under a merciful star. This 4-star, 47-room hotel was named after the street it inhabits, rua da Miseric\u00f3rdia. \u201cMercy\u201d in Portuguese. However, the hotel has chosen English, so that its international clientele does not need to refer to Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Les
The lobby at 9Hotel Mercy in Lisbon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the case may be, a state of grace reigns. Intimate surroundings, a lobby decked out in black and gold, armchairs and a coffee machine. People like to take their time here. And now, up to the room. The black and gold decor, subtly lit, is warm and welcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Les<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The interior designer paid great attention to detail. In the rooms, black again (walls, bedspreads, furniture, drapes…) but dappled in light: the ray from a lamp, the glow of a metal wall\u00a0lamp, the opals of a bright spotlight, softened by a dark glass wall (in the bathroom, for example). A success. The light provides the soft and cosy atmosphere suitable for a break or restorative sleep. By the way, the care products in the bathroom are a very nice touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special mention for the bathroom, decorated with great care<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a hotel that\u00a0says no to\u00a0massive canisters suspended above the sink. Instead, guests are offered small bottles with amusing logos: Be fun (shower gel), Be smart (shampoo), Be happy (conditioner) et Be cool (lotion). A desk with necessary plug sockets and a Nespresso unit complete the picture. Although that would be out of place, a (short) work session can be scheduled, away from the buzzing city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensible\u00a0fare at the 9Hotel Mercy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To truly appreciate it, head for the rooftop. The 6th<\/sup>\u00a0floor of the Mercy provides a wide-screen view of Saint George’s Castle. These ramparts have been guarding the city for ages, watching over the Tagus River. Along with the city\u2019s dozen of bell towers, peeking through an ocean of red tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 6th floor of 9Hotel Mercy, the rooftop offers a breathtaking view of Lisbon.
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here, the locals always keep an eye towards the sky with a little prayer in their hearts. The bar is open-air. Its charm lies in his modest dimensions. It can accommodate at most twenty or so short-skirted willowy beauties, unshaven bad boys on their arms. A toast, here\u2019s to new friends. The fare is sensible, more so than the coming night: \u20ac9 for a spritz, \u20ac4 for a beer, \u20ac90 for a bottle of Mo\u00ebt et Chandon. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Le
Carnal, the Mexican-inspired restaurant at 9Hotel Mercy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The story continues at Carnal, the hotel\u2019s own restaurant. Carnal offers Mexican cuisine with a new age twist and is always\u00a0lively. A cherry on top of this hotel, bar and restaurant complex, sure to add to the legends of the Chiado and Lisbon itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is currently emerging as the beacon of European escapades; the Mercy its trendy den, the brand of new audacity. Of course. The Mercy is one of eleven locations of the very low-profile group 9Hotel, established in the most fashionable spots in Europe: Paris (four locations), Brussels (three), Geneva (one), Rome (two) and, thus, Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ticket to happiness<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right next to the hotel, Miseric\u00f3rdia Street meets the square of the same name, and the Sao Roque church. The church square is guarded by a statue of Antonio Vieira (1608-1697), a Jesuit priest, surrounded by Amazonian Indian children of whom he became the protector. Facing the church, a small kiosk serves coffee, snacks, and lottery tickets. Another life-size bronze depicts an old-fashioned street vendor, a cap on his head and a cigarette hanging from his mouth. He holds out a ticket, polished by thousands of hands, those of gamblers, coming to buy their ticket to happiness. Visitors enjoy the picture spot.\u00a0A little gift from Mercy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
