Simone De Beauvoir

9th January, 1908 (Paris, France) – 14th April, 1986 (Paris, France)

In our Torel Avantgarde, a boutique hotel in the center of Porto, we pay tribute to Simone de Beauvoir in one of our Executive Superior rooms, with a double bed and balcony.

In this room, the reference to the feminist French writer has materialized through a black box, a symbol of her deep and intellectual thoughts about the injustices of life.

The dark box is complemented by a large desk, which pays homage to her office, while the blue headboard and the red and white carpet represent the colors of the French flag.

* An extraordinary room category in the most artistic hotel in Porto.

Simone De Beauvoir - Torel Avantgarde

Author of the famous phrase “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman”, Simone de Beauvoir was a born thinker, extremely reluctant in the face of the problems that were being felt at the time. The injustices and social weaknesses that she experienced as a woman became her main struggle throughout her life.

Some of his Main Works:

The Second Sex
She Came to Stay
The Mandarins
Les Temps Modernes
Existentialist Ethics

Literary Movement: Existentialism.

“If the feminine issue is so absurd, is because the male’s arrogance made it “a discussion.” – Simone de Beauvoir
