What makes it Kobu

description

By reinventing the classical notions of hospitality, hotelier João Rodrigues and his family restored an ancient Lisbon building, transforming it into their family home and graciously opening its doors to guests. It is not a conventional hotel, as in contrast, Santa Clara 1728, is a homecoming and a destination for lifelong friends to gather. It stands as a testament to the conversation between people and place, and how Portuguese life and culture is the collision of a rich and beautiful past, as well as a dynamically diverse present.
