Portugal Boutique Hotel, Lisbon

Portugal Boutique Hotel offers a contemporary stay just off of Praça Martim Moniz, one of Lisbon's more multicultural areas filled with a mix of Chinese, Indian, and Turkish shops and restaurants. This central location is just outside of Alfama, Lisbon's Old Town, the only neighborhood to survive the 1755 earthquake that destroyed most of the city. Within a few minutes, you can reach the winding, narrow streets that will take you to the 12th-century Sé Cathedral or the Lisbon Cathedral, São Jorge Castle, and the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, all located within 15 minutes of the hotel.

The style of the hotel is contemporary, with around 50 rooms featuring a cohesive blue-and-white color scheme evoking azulejo tiles. All rooms are doubles, making this ideal for couples or friends. Classic Rooms can feel a bit tight, so go for the Deluxe, Premium, or suite options for significantly more space. Some options have bathtubs as well as showers, and suites include bathtubs with chromo or color therapy. All except for Classic units have capsule espresso machines.

Wine lovers can check out the selection in the hotel's wine cellar, while the lobby bar is a cozy place to have a drink. The restaurant, Varanda de Lisboa, offers a menu of local cuisine and wraparound windows overlooking the city. Head up to the rooftop bar and enjoy a mix of cocktails and bites and a panoramic view of Lisbon.
