5 Best, Genuine Boutique Hotels in Lisbon in 2026

Hotel Hotel, Lisbon. You just don’t know what to expect from a hotel named Hotel Hotel, do you? One person could see irreverence, a pair of adorably goofball owners, maybe? Another might imagine a whole bunch of exhaustingly self-curated hipsters slouching about the place. Either way, it could all easily turn gimmicky. This is definitely on the hip side of things, but the way it’s executed is so effortless it’s hard to dislike. Any ironic, self-indulgent humour is limited to the name. The rest of Hotel Hotel is lovingly constructed… > Read Our Full Review

If you want mainly old but also a bit new, there’s AlmaLusa Baixa/Chiado, a gorgeous boutique hotel named for the neighbourhoods it straddles. The location makes for a super-central Lisbon stay, the small number of rooms adds intimacy, and for a little bit of local flavour, all you have to do is look around.

The decor is fresh, simple and… > Read Our Full Review

Bairro Alto Hotel, in the Lisbon neighbourhood of the same name, is a nicely old fashioned, upscale option in the City of Seven Hills.

Hotel das Amoreiras is a chic Lisbon boutique hotel, and a bit of a love letter to understated luxury. It all seems very casual; there’s no opulence here, at least nothing covered in gold and brocade and stairwells that look like they were designed by Klimt. Yet, we’ve got notes from Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Condé Nast, and others, that tell a different story – one of thoughtful dedication to creature comforts. There’s a kind of pan-European flair at play at Hotel das Amoreiras, you could say. We… > Read Our Full Review
