01 · In a sentence

AlmaLusa Alfama in Lisboa, open MaySeptember.

Guests enter AlmaLusa Alfama through the heart of Lisbon's oldest neighborhood, where narrow streets and terracotta rooftops create an authentic Portuguese backdrop.

This converted palace hotel sits directly on Rua dos Bacalhoeiros, offering couples a rare chance to marry in a centuries-old building while hosting up to 150 guests in spaces that feel both historic and intimate.

The Tagus River views and rooftop terraces ensure your reception unfolds against one of Europe's most storied waterfronts.

This was my second time staying here, and I must say both times exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are cleaned to perfection. The beds are very comfortable, and there is a pleasant smell throughout the hotel at all times. The hotel is also situated in a nice, walkable area that is convenient to a host of popular sites. Honestly, it is the only hotel that I'll stay at whenever I'm in Lisbon.
