This was one of the best hotels that we stayed at. The service was outstanding. Every person that we interacted with during the stay was polite, helpful and professional. The property has that palace charm and each room at the hotel has uniqueness to it. The staircases are gorgeous, furniture is beautiful, it has sitting rooms, dining room, library and much more. We loved the variety of the breakfast items and how clean the property was. There was a live music during the breakfast with piano and violin players, who were wonderful. Please inquire about their spa services that include sauna. It is about 1 hour spot that my daughter and I have tremendously enjoyed on one of the evening. While at the spa, the towels and robes were provided, along with chocolates and sparkly wine for me :). I loved everything about the hotel. However, the room, while charming, was quite tiny. Also, while tea and ability of bigger size cup to brew, there was no cups to accommodate that, so making tea was somewhat of a hassle that required multi-cup manipulation, so I would recommend adding bigger size caps for the tea drinkers inside the rooms. Otherwise, the room was lovely and had a lot of character. Also, while the hotel was scrubbed to the perfection, sometimes it felt a little bit overwhelming to see all the workers in the lobby continuously scrubbing it. It kind of took away from the experience. However, I would come to this lovely hotel again and again, and my 15 yo teen loved it. Thank you!

For those who long to stay in an 18th or 19th century palace, Palacio fits the bill. The decor brings one back to the luxury of a foregone era, but in a good way and with the inclusion of modern amenities. Also conveniently located near Praca de Luis de Camoes with many dining options nearby and attractions within walking distance. The sole disappointment was the breakfast experience- we had scheduled a couple of early events and on the first morning were told by staff that taking something to go prior to the official start time of breakfast was not permitted. Disappointed, we were fortunately able to grab some delicious pastries across Praca Camoes which satisfied our need for a quick bite. The next morning, we learned that travel breakfasts are provided for guests with early activities, which is a nice touch, though not nearly as satisfying as a buffet breakfast, but I suppose that is the tradeoff of having a packed schedule. Our final morning, we were finally able to enjoy the breakfast buffet. Overall, I enjoyed the antique decor, staff attentiveness, and location, such that I would return when visiting Lisbon again.

An Exquisite Boutique Hotel

What a "gem" of a hotel. The moment we entered we knew we should have stayed earlier in our trip. We were offered a quiet room for team, various cold beverages, just to relax. My wife needed a converter to charge her cellphone and the staff quickly offered her one for use in the lobby. The rooms were large and very comfortable. There is a "help yourself to wine" in the basement, allowing you to step outside into a beautiful garden to sit at a fairly private table, or in a room or to take upstairs. Everything is done in a manner to make you feel at home!

Impeccable Service and stunning Room

The service at the hotel was excellent. We arrived a bit earlier than the usual check-in time just to drop off our luggage, but the staff kindly called us shortly after to let us know that our room was ready earlier than expected. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly. One of the staff members took us to our room and gave us a detailed introduction to everything. When we arrived, we noticed that many staff were diligently cleaning, and it really showed, the room was spotless! The hotel room itself was absolutely stunning, the most beautiful I’ve ever stayed in. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, and we were very satisfied. If we ever return to Lisbon, we’ll definitely stay here again. I’d love to try one of the other room types next time!

The property is exceptional in many ways - tea services, wine & cheese services, private sitting rooms & gardens, exceptional breakfast service, roman bath & spa among many! The room we stayed in (2nd Floor, Room 4) may have had a mold issue (crumbling paint above the bed and bath area). We woke with sore throats and coughing - possibly attributed to lack of filter changes or mold.

The hotel is an old palace that belonged to a rich Portuguese family which traded in spices. It breathes history through every wall, carpet, window, fixture….a lovely place if you are a History lover or if you simply want to walk and dine in Lisbon. Highly recommended!
