admin When looking for Lisbon hotels, you’re met with a myriad of enticing—albeit unconventional—options. While you’ll certainly find your crop of classic stays, it’s not a city brimming with traditional hotels. The best places to stay in Lisbon provide a more immersive plunge into the culture of the old city, including self-serviced apartments designed to feel like a home away from home, former 18th-century buildings renovated by famous Portuguese architects offering on-site communal dining, and a family home-turned-hotel where the family acts as your host. There’s also an abundance of stylish Airbnbs in any neighborhood of your choosing if you prefer to go that route.
The one thing all of these stays have in common is they each serve as the perfect launchpad for exploring Lisbon’s labyrinth of vibrant old streets, bustling nightlife, evolving food scene, and scenic beaches. Below, the very best Lisbon hotels and unique stays to book if you’re traveling to Portugal this summer—and beyond.
