Frequently asked

For first-time visitors, staying in the central districts is recommended. You'll find exceptional design hotels in areas like Baixa, Chiado, and Avenida da Liberdade. Hotels like Bairro Alto Hotel and Hotel Avenida Palace are within walking distance of major sights such as Praça do Comércio and the Alfama district. These central locations put you in the heart of the action, with easy access to historic trams and the metro.

For a mid-range stay, you might consider H10 Duque de Loule at €104 or The Vintage Hotel & Spa at €118. If you're looking for more luxury, expect to pay upwards of €200 for properties like Pestana Palace Lisboa Hotel & National Monument.

what is the cheapest month to visit lisbon

The cheapest month to visit Lisbon is typically during the winter, from November to February, excluding the holiday period. During these cooler months, you're likely to find lower rates on hotel rooms compared to the peak summer season. For example, you might find better deals on properties like Radisson Blu Hotel Lisbon or Holiday Inn Lisbon-Continental, which offer comfortable stays at more affordable prices.

how to get from lisbon airport to the city center

From Lisbon Airport (Humberto Delgado), the easiest way to reach the city center is by metro, which takes about 20 minutes and costs a few euros. Many hotels are near metro stations; for instance, Corinthia Lisbon is steps from the metro in Sete Rios, and Epic Sana Marques Hotel is also conveniently located. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or rideshare for a journey of around 15-20 minutes depending on traffic, or use the AeroBus service which stops at key points in the center.

is lisbon a walkable city

Yes, Lisbon is very walkable, especially in the central districts. Most of the design hotels on this page are located in areas like Baixa, Chiado, and Avenida da Liberdade, where you can easily explore on foot. You'll find that many attractions, like the Alfama district and Praça do Comércio, are within a 10-15 minute walk from these hotels. Just be prepared for some hills, which add to the city's charm and offer stunning viewpoints.

Exceptional Design Hotels in Lisbon

Lisbon's design hotel scene mirrors the city itself: a blend of old-world elegance and contemporary flair. You'll find them in the historic heart of Alfama, where Memmo Alfama offers an adults-only retreat with a rooftop pool and river views; along the grand Avenida da Liberdade, where classics like Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa and Hotel Avenida Palace sit; and in up-and-coming districts like Sete Rios and Campo Grande, where modern properties appeal to a new generation of travelers.

Exceptional design here doesn't mean minimalism alone. It ranges from the stately palace of Pestana Palace Lisboa, a 19th-century national monument with gardens and pools, to the contemporary comfort of Epic Sana Lisboa Hotel with its rooftop pool and spa. At the budget end, you can find stylish rooms from around €57 a night, while at the top, expect to pay around €361 for a stay that includes river views from Praça do Comércio. Forty-eight of the properties are rated 4 or 5 stars, and 37 have guest ratings of 9.0 or higher. This is a city where design is about atmosphere as much as aesthetics.

If your priorities lie elsewhere, you might want to explore pages dedicated to central hotels for the best locations, family-friendly hotels for amenities like pools and spacious rooms, or cheap and budget hotels if you're watching your spend.
