A Boutique Jewel in Portugal’s Serene Countryside - Hidden in the tranquil village of Melides, the Vermelho Hotel is an enchanting retreat that blends art, nature, and refined hospitality. As part of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection, this boutique gem invites guests to embrace the slower pace of life, surrounded by the idyllic beauty of Portugal’s Alentejo region.


A Visionary’s Dream Come to Life

Projected by renowned designer Christian Louboutin, Vermelho Hotel is a masterpiece of creative vision. Its name, meaning “red” in Portuguese, is a nod to both Louboutin’s iconic red-soled shoes and the vibrant hues that characterize the hotel’s bold yet harmonious design. Every corner of Vermelho exudes artistic flair, with curated works of art, handcrafted furniture, and details that reflect Louboutin’s love for Portugal’s rich culture and heritage.

The hotel’s intimate atmosphere is enhanced by its architecture, which seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. Warm terracotta tones, traditional tiles, and lush gardens create an inviting sense of place, making Vermelho a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility.


Culinary Delights in the Heart of Alentejo

At Vermelho Hotel, gastronomy is a celebration of the region’s flavors and traditions. The hotel’s restaurant, Xtian, offers an immersive dining experience inspired by Alentejo’s bountiful produce and culinary heritage.

Under the direction of talented chefs, Xtian’s menu showcases fresh, locally sourced ingredients in innovative ways. Guests can savor dishes that highlight the essence of Alentejo, from olive oil and aromatic herbs to freshly caught seafood and tender meats. Each plate is thoughtfully paired with wines from Portugal’s celebrated vineyards, ensuring an unforgettable culinary journey.

The restaurant’s setting is equally captivating, with its warm, intimate design and a terrace that invites diners to enjoy meals under the open sky, surrounded by the serene beauty of Melides.
