Locke firmly believes that travel should not come at the cost of losing the comforts of home, and their signature studio apartments are a testament to that philosophy. These units come with all the modern amenities one would expect, including fully fitted kitchens and spacious living and working areas that afford guests a degree of autonomy that is rare in typical hotel rooms. With this, Locke aims to inspire and connect travellers by creating spaces that are both mindful in design and foster social interaction through locally-led cultural programmes, exciting food and drink concepts that celebrate the character and social fabric of each locality, and social spaces that allow for co-working, events, and meetings.

Every aspect of the design of the public areas, overseen by Lázaro Rosa-Violán, has been carefully thought out to draw inspiration from the site's layered history, with each space retaining its unique identity. Post Company has designed each unit to combine contemporary comforts with historic architectural fragments, in natural tones and tactile materials that evoke the essence of Portugal. The use of local fabrics, ceramics, and stone finishes add to the charm of each room, and bespoke furniture and fully equipped kitchens provide a nod to the building's heritage.
