Memmo Alfama Hotel Lisboa in 1100-348 Lisboa, open May–September.
Perched in the historic Alfama district overlooking the Tagus River and São Jorge Castle, Memmo Alfama Hotel Lisboa occupies a series of 18th-century palaces with sweeping terraces that frame Lisbon's layered cityscape.
The venue's five levels cascade down the hillside, offering multiple indoor and outdoor spaces with unobstructed views of the river's eastern expanse.
Whitewashed walls and classical Portuguese architecture provide an authentic backdrop against the modern comfort of a 4-star property.
This place was perfect! The room was very comfortable and we had a beautiful view. The hotel is gorgeous. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was tasty! We also really enjoyed the wine bar too. It was a perfect place for sunset/golden hour. I will say that I could see getting to the hotel being challenging for anyone with mobility issues. If you aren’t taking a cab right to the door you’ll have to walk for a few minutes down a not flat cobblestone-y street. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means, but probably good to consider in advance. I would love to stay again sometime.
