Since 1940, the headquarters of the Diário de Notícias newspaper has kept tabs on major national and global events. This remarkable building has an unforgettable past, where writers, politicians and artists have all marked milestones in Portuguese history.
Renewed as a residential building, “266 Liberdade” is turning the page to a new chapter with a different – but no less important – story: the story of your life. The former newsrooms, pressroom and bookshop now offer welcoming Family spaces where you will always want to return to, inspiring days of happiness and nights of calmness, right in the heart of the city.
Focused on offering a unique life experience, “266 Liberdade” enhances the architectural design of the Diário de Notícias building by refurbishing its facades and several of its most characteristic features, along with renovated interiors combining comfort, elegance, history and modernity.
Inside, the “frescos” of Almada Negreiros, the main entrance’s revolving door, the elevator shaft, the marble stone cladding covering several walls in the rooms and passageways have all been preserved. These hints of history continue a legacy, making your new home even more exquisite.
Living in such a symbolic building in Lisbon is a privilege in itself. But “266 Liberdade” also combines a grandiose heritage with 34 apartments featuring contemporary architecture and a remarkable personality.
All of the apartments are accessible via two entryways: Avenida da Liberdade and Rua Rodrigues Sampaio. This is a truly outstanding undertaking, whose history, location and high-quality finishes make it an undeniably attractive investment in the capital city.
Featuring a more classic architectural style, the apartments facing Avenida da Liberdade – the former location of the Diário de Notícias’ editorial and administrative offices – preserve the legacy of architect Pardal Monteiro.
The refurbished floors and ceilings, together with the use of Portuguese marble stone from Sintra, honour and enhance the award-winning architect’s original vision.
The classical elegance of the 1940’s is brought back to the present day, redefined to ensure the utmost comfort and functionality in a modern residence with premium materials and top-notch fit-outs, essential to every day well-being.
