01 · In a sentence

Olissippo Lapa Palace Hotel in Lisboa.

Built in 1876 as a palatial private residence, Olissippo Lapa Palace Hotel has been meticulously restored to preserve its Belle Époque architecture while introducing contemporary luxury.

This historic Lisbon landmark occupies a commanding position in the prestigious Lapa district, offering grand salons and intimate spaces across its original floors.

The hotel seamlessly maintains its 19th-century character through ornate ceilings, period details, and classical design elements.

The welcome was incredible, and the service was fantastic. The rooms were spotless and incredibly quiet. But let me tell you, the highlight of my stay was the shower water pressure. It was so strong that it could strip paint! The Uber ride to the main city of Lisbon was a quick 10 minutes and only cost about 6 euros. There’s also a gym, sauna, indoor pool, and outdoor pool (weather permitting). Overall, I highly recommend this place.
