Lisbon four-star hotels
AC Hotel
Lisboa by Marriott
This stylish, ultramodern hotel enjoys high guest
ratings from customers of Venere, our booking partner. It's located near the
Parque Eduardo VII and is within walking distance of many museums and
attractions. Wi-Fi is free, every room has a free minibar, and a car park is on
the premises.
Altis Park
The Hotel Altis Park is a modern glass skyscraper hotel with a large outdoor
pool. A free shuttle runs between the Altis Park, the airport, and two other
Altis hotels in Lisbon. You can reach downtown Lisbon by bus or underground.
Amazónia Lisboa
Half of the rooms have balconies at the Amazónia Lisboa, which is near the
Marques de Pombal Square and has its own parking garage. An
Internet center is on the premises.
Britania
The Hotel Britania bills itself as "a pure Art Deco boutique hotel" that
"records the glamour of the 1940s." Along with its lovingly-restored 'forties
flavor, the Britania offers modern guest perks such as free Wi-Fi. It's close to
the Avenida da Liberdade, within walking distance of the Avenida Metro stop.
Holiday Inn Lisbon Continental
This American-style hotel near the Campo Pequeno Metro stop has 220 rooms
and suites, indoor parking for 140 cars, shops, a fitness center, and other
amenities.
Internacional Design Hotel
"Design hotels" are all the rage these days,
and Lisbon's version combines a classic building with a Modern Art-inspired
interior and a different theme on each floor. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, and
it's centrally located by the Rossio and the Elevador de Santa Justa.
Jerónimos
8
This modern, stylish hotel is outside of
the city center, near the Jerónimos monastery, the Belém tower, and the
legendary Pastéis de Belém
pastry shop. In good weather, you can enjoy the sun in the hotel's private
courtyard.
Lisboa Plaza
The Metro is only 50 meters from the Lisboa Plaza, which is off the Avenida da
Liberdade with some rooms facing the botanical gardens. Karen Brown's
Portugal: Charming Inns and Itineraries calls this "a delightful, friendly hotel in a fabulous location."
Mundial
The modern Hotel Mundial is just east of the Praça da
Figueira, at the foot of the hill that leads up to the Castelo de São Jorge.
From the hotel, you can easily walk the short distance to the Rossio and other
locations within the downtown business and shopping district.
Olissippo Castelo
If you don't mind hills, this hotel's location is hard
to beat: It's in the Alfalma district, next to the São
Jorge castle gardens with spectacular views of the city from the hotel terrace
and from superior rooms (which have terraces of their own).
Real Residência Suite
Every room at this
hotel is a minisuite with a "cooking corner," which is handy when you don't feel
like going out for lunch or dinner. The hotel is on the edge of the city center,
just above Parque Eduardo VII.
Tivoli Jardim
The perenially popular 119-room "Tivoli Garden" is near the Avenida da
Liberdade. Guests have access to some of the facilities at
the five-star
Tivoli Lisboa next door, and the
Olivier Avenida Restaurant has excellent Mediterranean food in a
contemporary setting.
Tivoli Oriente
The most recent addition to the Tivoli collection is in
the Parque das Nações, an attractive new area of Lisbon
where you'll also find the city's stunning
Oceanarium. The ultramodern Oriente railroad station (a major hub of
Lisbon's public-transportation network) is just two minutes away on foot.
Vila Gale Opera
London isn't the only big city with a Docklands area:
Lisbon has a restored docklands area of its own, with the ultramodern
Hotel Vila Gale Opera at its heart. The hotel is a tram ride away from the city
center.
Vip Eden
This hotel is in the center of downtown Lisbon, near the Rossio train station
(where you can catch a train to Sintra) and the historic Santa Justa Elevator.
Most of central Lisbon's tourist attractions are within walking distance.
York House
If you're looking for a romantic setting, this converted 17th Century convent in
a quiet neighborhood is worth investigating. Book ahead, since it's very popular with
English travelers.
