As a member of the Condé Nast Johansens hotel collection, 1828 Smart Hotel is a hidden gem.

The location is discreet – on a residential street – surrounded by museums, cafés, nightlife, shops and parks, with the international airport just 45’ away. Inside, everything about 1828 Smart Hotel’s public areas and 14 guest rooms and suites screams sophistication, modernity, relaxation and superior quality.

From the moment the guests arrive and enjoy their welcome drink, the importance placed on the details becomes apparent. This is certainly the case in the bedrooms where large Smart TVs, Nespresso machines, USB wall chargers and electronic blackout curtains are standard features. Plus, beautiful white Italian marble bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers and views of either the neighbourhood or the pool.

This heated, infinity-edge swimming pool is flanked by an eight-metre tall cascading “pool mirror” and vertical garden, both of which are overlooked by the Piano Lounge, Restaurant and Bar where international dishes are served. 24-hour room service is also available and the breakfast’s hot and cold options, sparkling wine and freshly made pastries are served until noon. There’s also a rooftop terrace, and a spa, which includes state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a treatment room and dry sauna.
