The Bom Sucesso Hotel is situated in
Belém, on the waterfront to the east of the Bom Sucesso Dock and opposite the
Belém Cultural Centre. It is a 5-star
hotel with 50 rooms and a number of facilities intended to support
water sports.

The main structure, which has two floors, lies perpendicular to the
Tagus in such a way as to make best use of the views across the city and the estuary. It is also designed not to constitute a visual obstacle along the axis between the
Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. The hotel is also composed of a rectangular platform, which incorporates the restaurant and creates a “pocket” designed to increase guest privacy. There is an open green space above the platform. A very narrow structure, which sits between the hotel and the restaurant and connects them, possesses a strong identity of its own that is related to the look of the nearby Museum of Popular Art.
