Meliá Lisboa Aeroporto, Lisbon

If you're looking for a comfortable stay close to Lisbon's airport, you won't get much closer than Meliá Lisboa Aeroporto. Positioned right next to Terminal 1, this hotel offers a mix of convenience and modern facilities that can help you relax before or after a flight. The center of Lisbon is just 20 minutes away by car or 45 minutes via public transportation, and both the metro and bus stops are just two minutes away. You can easily see some of the city's attractions, like the cathedral, the castle, and the historic center, without having to worry about time or missing your flight.

The hotel's 160+ spacious rooms are modern and minimalist. Some include balconies and city views, and there are family rooms with a mix of beds and sofa beds or bunk beds to accommodate up to four comfortably. Bathrooms may include bathtubs, and all rooms have bathrobes and slippers. Rooms are soundproofed so that you can enjoy a good night's sleep despite the hotel's location off Lisbon's main highway. If you want a bit of extra indulgence, book the two-bedroom Presidential Suite on the top floor, which includes a kitchenette, two bathrooms, and views of the Tagus River. 

The spa is a highlight, as you can relax in the sauna, indoor pool, or hammam after enjoying a massage or treatment. You can also grab a seat by the small outdoor pool overlooking the city. The hotel offers an airport shuttle service that runs from early morning to late night. There's a bar and a restaurant to sample local cuisine, and for those with early flights, the breakfast service begins at 4:00 am. This pet-friendly hotel also welcomes furry friends and offers a pet kit with a blanket, feeder, and water dispenser.
