With a vast collection of art, the hotel in Lisbon operates as a gallery.

Inaugurated in 1933, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade has become an icon of hospitality in Lisbon (Portugal) and has always functioned as a stage for artistic expression, harmoniously combining luxury hospitality with a deep commitment to the arts. With corridors and common areas decorated with a vast collection of tapestries, paintings, and ceramics, the hotel is a true living gallery, where history and creativity meet. Among the highlights of the permanent exhibition collection of the Tivoli gallery are the panel Lisbon of the 16th century, by Risques Pereira, ceramics by Jorge Barradas, the tapestry The Signs of the Zodiac, by Jean Lurçat, and the tapestry The Mine, by Vieira da Silva, in addition to a valuable collection of over 80 works by Mily Possoz. The artistic experience also extends to the gardens, where original 18th-century tiles are preserved. Between 2011 and 2016, the hotel hosted more than 14 exhibitions, highlighting names such as Pedro Barateiro, Conceição Abreu, Pedro Calapez, Rui Calçada Bastos, Miguel Palma, Pauliana Pimentel, and Ana Pérez-Quiroga. With art in its DNA, in October 2022, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade reaffirmed its role in the city’s cultural itinerary with the launch of the project Tivoli Art Collection – Make Room for the Masterpiece, a manifesto of the brand in support of the arts. The initiative premiered with SUPERFLORA, by Márcio Vilela, marking a new phase of artistic dialogue within its spaces.

In 2023, Alexandra de Cadaval Art Projects presented an exclusive series of tapestries by South African artist Esther Mahlangu, followed by the exhibition ILLUSION OF CLAY, by AKACORLEONE, which remained on display until the beginning of 2024. In 2024, the hotel presented THE JUNGLE DOES NOT ASK FOR PASSAGE, the first solo exhibition of Brazilian artist Nathan Kunigami, from Kokuga Flower Studio — a site-specific installation exhibited in the lobby of Tivoli. Also during the Lisbon Design Week, the exhibition MILLY was held, curated by Felipa Almeida, which showcased a unique collection of nine flower jars created by artists Henriette Arcelin, Maria Paz Aires, and Maud Téphany, inspired by the works of Mily Possoz, a pioneer of Portuguese Modernism, whose largest private collection belongs to the hotel. Maintaining the commitment to the arts, present since the hotel's inception, in May 2025, Tivoli Avenida Liberdade invited Portuguese interior stylist Ana Trancoso to create a new site-specific installation, a project designed to interact with the architecture of the space. Ana Trancoso created GOLDEN HOUR, referencing the light of late afternoon during the warmest months, bringing to the heart of the city a sensory evocation of the beach. With a long trajectory in the editorial world, Ana was an editor for magazines such as Elle and Vogue Portugal, where she had the freedom to explore her creativity without constraints. This period served as a true laboratory for experimenting, daring, and developing a unique aesthetic. Currently, she primarily focuses on decoration projects, combining her editorial background with the technical rigor provided by her education. The structure of the mobile was built with round-profile metal tubes and dowels, with geometric shapes made of transparent acrylic, suspended by thin steel cables, ensuring lightness and subtle movement with the airflow. The dimensions of the pieces vary between 10 cm and 80 cm in diameter, composing a harmonious and balanced set. The sculpture installed at the hotel entrance, also made of transparent acrylic, has a diameter of 2 m and, in contrast to the lightness of the mobile pieces, is static. The color palette of both explores golden and yellow tones, intensified by the material's transparency and the juxtaposition of the shapes. The installation will be on display at the hotel until October. The artistic side is also reflected in the suites of Tivoli Avenida Liberdade. The hotel now features the new Signature Suites, inspired by the elegance of the 1930s and 1950s, highlighting intense colors, sophisticated materials, and elements that reference the architecture and cultural heritage of the property. The Beatriz Costa suite pays tribute to the legendary Portuguese actress who lived at Tivoli for over fifty years. The projects retrieve the atmosphere of the period and gather a collection of personal items from the artist, as well as photographs and selected works that celebrate her journey.
