The hotel doesn’t have a pool but this amazing freestanding tub makes up for it plenty!
Plushest bed ever! You can call downstairs and ask for five different types of pillows, depending on your preference. Or just try a new one every night? The staff doesn’t care. They’ll do anything for you!
Great, unique product.
The Bairro Alto Hotel doesn’t just have great staff and amazing accommodations, it’s also really popular among tourists for the view from the terrace. It looks out over the river Tagus and you can catch a glimpse of the 25th of April bridge, which was designed by the same architect as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
The reception area is regal and roomy.
Breakfast is served!
My room was incredibly chic and comfortable. It was on the quiet side of the hotel, but even that didn’t matter because the windows are triple glazed and pretty much sound proof. The color palette was classic but felt really cozy and modern. I could’ve spent days in this bathroom. It felt so fresh and light. I loved the antique floor tiling combined with the modern white and blue touches.
Highs & Lows
-
I loved the soundproofed windows - it’s reassuring to know you will sleep like a baby every night.
-
It’s close to all the best restaurants, sights and stores in town. You’ve only got to step out of the front door and you’re in the full swing of Lisbon. I walked everywhere.
-
When they told me about all the different types of pillows you can try, I laughed. That’s crazy but oh so cool.
-
You’re basically in the most popular hotel in Lisbon… you can actually make friends on that terrace!
-
The decor is chic and elegant, but at the same time modern and fresh. It’s a decorator’s dream.
-
There was just one complaint: one of the receptionists annoyed me. He seemed to want to correct everything I said and asked. He always looked mad, at me especially. He was not so pleasant to deal with.
