The Best Luxury Boutique Hotels in Portugal

Ann Abel — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 16:58:49 +0000

Along with the grand old palaces and super-simple countryside hotels, Portugal has a growing number of luxury boutique hotels. These places, generally in cities, are intimate but stylish, design-forward, and often home to Michelin-caliber gastronomy. Some have history; others are brand-new. But what they have in common is a commitment to quality.

Palácio Ludovice Boutique Hotel in Bairro Alto, Lisbon

Ann Abel — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 11:05:58 +0000

In a city with its share of palace hotels, Palácio Ludovice stands out for its genuine history, thoughtful design, well-done wine program, and prime location. The Lisbon hotel takes up an entire block at the crossroads of Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Principe Real. The hotel occupies the former private residence of João Federico Ludovice, architect to King João V in the 18th century. The renovation, completed in 2022, preserved the original blue-and-white tiles, frescoes, and stucco ceilings while transforming them […]

The Ivens, an Autograph Collection Hotel in Lisbon

Ann Abel — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 10:31:58 +0000

When the Ivens opened in Chiado in autumn 2021, it raised the bar for hotel design in Lisbon. It’s a maximalist fantasyland, loosely inspired by two 19th-century Portuguese explorers, Roberto Ivens and Hermeneglido Capelo. (It sits at the corner of Rua Ivens and Rua Capelo.) But mostly that was an excuse for the designers—Cristina Matos on the rooms and reception and Lázaro Rosa-Violan (best known in Lisbon for designing JNcQUOI, something that will come as no surprise when you see […]

Pousada de Lisboa

With its perch on the corner of Lisbon’s beautiful Praça do Comércio, Pousada de Lisboa is a touch of luxury in the heart of the city’s tourist center. It occupies a historic building—parts of which are more than two centuries old—that was once the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now it has been lovingly restored and modernized in a way that combines the best of old and new. The design and quality of the service have earned it […]

Torel Palace Lisbon

Arguably Lisbon’s most understated palace hotel, the Torel Palace lies just a little ways off the usual tourist path, near the top of the lovely Torel Garden. It’s an under-the-radar gem with excellent views over Lisbon’s historic center and a connection to some living, authentic neighborhoods. It began life, improbably, in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, when a Portuguese banker quit his job to renovate a 1904 mansion and turn it into a B&B. It opened with 10 […]

Bairro Alto Hotel

Before Lisbon became fashionable, it had only one five-star boutique accommodation, the Bairro Alto Hotel. Then, just as it closed for renovations, Lisbon became a capital of cool and boutique hotels sprouted across the city. So when it finally reopened in 2019, after a three-year renovation, it had some serious competition. It also vanquished much of that competition, emerging as one of the nicest places to stay in the capital. First off, it occupies a prime corner of the city, […]
