Ever Dived Into A Chromotherapeutic Pool?

While at Lisbon Legacy Fashion Week, DASH stayed in its five star partner hotel the Dom Pedro Palace Lisboa. One of five of the marque throughout Portugal, Lisbon’s boasts a grandiose view over the city and location close to the airport, thus making it ideal for business meetings and conferences. Considering this, wi-fi incurring an extra cost comes as a surprise.

Furnished in a classic if not slightly cheesy style, it supplies traditional chic comfort. Should your feet and body hurt from strenuous running and waiting around for the shows, I can highly recommend swapping any strains and pains to gains at the in-house SPA Aquae. One of the 90 minute full-body massages with almond and mixed aromatherapeutic oils will leave you relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to absorb more fashion input while wearing your flamboyant looks. I could not have enjoyed more the Ayurvedic massage, whose result leaves you in a state of calmness and comfort. In case your legs can cope with some more effort, the spa also includes a small gym to sweat in and provides, for a further small, yet unnecessary fee (unless you stay in a Tower room or Suite), access to a sauna, jacuzzi and small chromotherapeutic pool – quite a treat.

If all that pampering leaves you peckish, I suggest digging into the breakfast buffet rather than the à la carte lunch served in the same Bistrot Le Café. It’s generous, full of variety and the help-yourself set-up avoids any disappointment of not getting what you’ve ordered – a range of international newspapers are also at hand. Try the traditional Pastéis de Nata or order some via room service for a midnight snack while typing away about the countless shows and fashionable happenings at Moda Lisboa Legacy.
