Embarking on the canvas of possibility, Spanish interior designer Daniela Franceschini breathed life into The Rebello, transforming it into a haven of creativity and relaxation. As the visionary founder of Quiet Studios, Franceschini drew inspiration from the historical use of industrial spaces by artists and creatives, infusing The Rebello with an eclectic design ethos that revolves around original artworks and fosters a space for visitors to delve into the realms of creativity and craftsmanship. We’re happy to introduce their spa.
The magic unfolds through distinctive colors, textures, and materials carefully curated by Franceschini, who collaborated with talented Portuguese artists and makers. Together, they designed bespoke art and furniture that seamlessly coexists with pieces and reproductions from globally acclaimed designers. The result is a harmonious blend of cultural influences and artistic expressions that adorn every corner, inviting visitors on a journey of contemplation and appreciation for the creative process.

Within the hotel, an oasis awaits in the form of The Rebello Spa, echoing the serenity found in Roman baths. This Wellness & Spa center, a hallmark of the group's other hotels, beckons those seeking respite from the urban hustle. Immerse yourself in the embrace of a heated pool, find solace in the sauna, or engage in a rejuvenating workout in the fitness center. The spa boasts four treatment rooms, each a sanctuary for indulging in a range of holistic and signature massages, facial rituals, and bodily treatments.Carla Castanheira, the Head of Wellness & Spa for the group, eloquently describes the spa's ethos, rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Indian medicine. Specially tailored treatments unfold, promising a personalized and transformative experience. A highlight of The Rebello Spa is the "Ritual," a comprehensive 2-hour therapy that encompasses body exfoliation, a relaxing massage, and a facial treatment. Post-treatment, guests are invited to bask in the tranquility of the water lounge, where carefully placed lamps mimic the soothing phases of the sun and moon. For those inclined to burn calories for relaxation, the gym awaits, adorned with vintage items and high-tech equipment to alleviate stress and elevate feel-good levels. In every facet of The Rebello, from its thoughtfully designed spaces to the nurturing embrace of the spa, there's a commitment to elevating the guest experience. It's a place where artistry meets tranquility, and where the spirit of creativity intertwines seamlessly with the pursuit of relaxation. The Rebello is not just a hotel; it's an immersive journey into the realms of design, culture, and holistic well-being.
