Hotel Avenida Palace - Lisbon, Portugal - #MonochromeMonday

Hotel Avenida Palace

Here's a black and white photo I took of the Hotel Avenida Palace, also known as "The Only Palace in Downtown Lisbon". This luxury hotel opened in 1892 and was considered one of the best in Europe due to it's location, style and standard of service. During the Spanish Civil War and the 2 World Wars of the 20th century, the Hotel Avenida Palace served as a center for political meetings. Some of the worlds most prominent financial, political and religious leaders have stayed at the Hotel Avenida Palace.

I like the way this photo looks in black and white. It almost looks like the picture could have been taken in the late 19th century during the hotel's heyday. The Hotel Avenida Palace is situated in a bustling square of downtown Lisbon. I took this photo with a pastel de nata in hand as I walked around the city looking for a temporary cell-phone to buy.

Nice selection for the monochrome Monday and nice shot buddy !

Great shot @jeffjagoe! Lisbon is on my bucket list! I will be following you for more.

It was amazing! I hope to go back someday. Thanks for following, I checked out your blog and followed back! Looks like you do some awesome traveling :)

Thanks for following me back.

Nice capture. By the way if you like to make it look as from the 19th century you need to add grain1. In this times only slow film was available and no 'fullframe', medium format and large format was in use.

[1] If don't have a other source to build grain, give this free online service a go.

Thanks for the tip @walter-v-ac, I will look into that. I use Adobe Lightroom so I’m sure there’s something.
