5 star Independent hotels in Lisbon, Portugal

This is a place that we would definitely return to. The hosts are most welcoming and the guesthouse indeed has plenty of charm. The rooms are comfortable and the pool is a fantastic place to pass the time of day. The breakfasts are spot on and we could not fimd fault anywhere. Not that we even bothered looking! My wife is pregnant and on leaving, our hostess Suzanna gave us a little gift for the baby (a sweet babygrow)... when does that ever happen in this day and age. Wonderful....

our third stay at this hotel. nice rooms great staff lovely pool area and a comfortable bar with a nice long list of cocktails.

Very clean Very polite and friendly staff Only issue was that the room is open plan so even the toilet isnt in a seperate room. It merely has a glass sliding door as a barrier! It may suit others but not for us

From Rui's meeting us on the street to carry our bags up the stairs to the Palace, we were treated as friends, albeit royal ones, throughout our stay. The Palacete is astonishingly beautiful and overlooks the water. Each room is stunning and has unique character and the blooming terraces are incomparable. The restoration of this Palace has clearly been a labor of love. They have combined the elegance of old Lisbon with a modern flair and 21st century style. Our room was spectacular; elegant and huge with a terrace overlooking the ocean and a world class ultra modern bathroom. I will admit it is a hard place to find but don't give up. The medieval neighborhood in which it lives is the best of Lisbon. Rui was generous with information about the palace and the not to miss sites. He visited with us each morning as we dined on many course breakfasts served on antique china by the friendliest staff imaginable. He helped us with dinner reservations, even walking us to a nearby favorite restaurant Sunday night. I am a traveller and this was the best place I have ever stayed. Go there.

Thirty years later and it still is as wonderful as I remembered.

Staff are polite and helpful. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable. Great view from room window looking over to a park .

We stayed in the Mercy hotel for seven nights and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. We could not find any faults and the staff were wonderful especially Ronnie . The hotel even provided umbrellas and put a chocolate on your pillow every night.

The aptly named Lapa palace truly left me feeling like a pampered princess! The grounds are stunning and staff are a delight,concierge was wonderful! Attention to every detail shows at each encounter, could have stayed here forever! Sangria and chicken Caesar salad on the terrace, expresso &complimentary cookies with a smile to start the morning poolside... Enjoy this world class hotel!

This is a fantastic hotel on the edge of Cascais. It has a beautiful infinity pool on the 3rd floor with great sea and marina views. There are loads of loungers and lovely thick pool towels are supplied. Our room overlooked the pool/sea with a large balcony, the room was serviced twice a day. The hotel is beautifully furnished and immaculate both inside and out. The staff throughout the hotel are very well trained and you really feel like nothing is to much trouble. The breakfast buffet is superb. We will be visiting again!!

The staff were fabulous....helpful, friendly, relaxed but very professional.We were given brilliant recommendations for dinner, pitched just right for us, so well judged by the staff. Their recommendation for Fado was also spot on. The roof top bar is great with an informal but stylish atmosphere. Breakfast is very good. The rooms are exceptionally clean. I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world but none have come close to getting the total package as correct as this one. Exceptional.
