Pousada A Casa das Portas Velhas ****



This boutique hotel, whose name translates as "The House of Old Doors", is located within Salvador’s historic district and exudes a unique character. Converted from the ruins of an old town house, it offers the ambience of a luxury retreat with an emphasis on design. In reference to the hotel’s name, doors are a decorative focus throughout the building, symbolising safety, cosiness, hospitality and warmth. The special ambience of the hotel extends to its garden restaurant, "Aldrava".


A Casa das Portas Velhas (The House of Old Doors) has been conceived as a "boutique hotel", a new international idea of a facility with a high-design concept and a unique personality. The ambience is that of a clubby luxury retreat that has been carved from a ruin, the remnants of a corner building in Salvador's historic district that has the architectural characteristics of the early 19th century. Spatial restrictions necessitate that the hotel be small in size - only fourteen rooms or combinations thereof and one Porteiro (Doorman) Suite.

Yet each apartment has qualities and amenities like any five-star hotel: centralized air-conditioning, imaginatively stocked frigo-bars, anti-allergic pillows, fire detectors and alarm system, a centralized water heating system, cable television and DVD's, bedside access to the internet, ceiling fans, lush anti-allergic carpets, a centralized sound system, personalized security safes, gratuitous hygienic toiletries, monogrammed robes, slippers, and bed linen, room service, and a modern security system. Additional services include a restaurant, bar, small gym, Jacuzzi, library and business center.
