She was a very independent and strong woman, which brought  to England the Portuguese custom of drinking  tea and also the orange marmalade. 

Given the importance of Catherine of Braganza and proximity to the Paço da Rainha (Her last residence in Portugal), we decided to change the name of the Residencial to Princesa Hotel & Tea (Princess Hotel & Tea).

Therefore, we used in the Hotel, the theme colors of the various types of tea. 

Having a common palette formed by beige or gray, and using on each floor a specific tea based  color:

- Level 1 - WHITE TEA
