Pousada de Lisboa - Small Luxury Hotels Of The World

We do not have enough great things to say about Prestana Pousada Lisboa. From the moment we arrived in this small exquisitely appointed hotel we knew we had made the right choice. The location is wonderful, just across the street from the Praca de Comercio- a gorgeous large plaza on the Tagus River. Our spacious room on the first floor above the lobby had a small balcony from which to view the plaza and river, although I don’t know if all rooms have balconies. Every member of the staff from the arrival and front desk personel, food services, housekeeping, maintenance— everyone —were exceptional friendly, helpful and professional. I wish I could name and thank them all. Concierge Daniella and Breakfast Manager Philip were especially gracious and attentive. Don’t pass up the fabulous breakfast buffet with so many wonderful selections including the fresh fruits, meats, cheeses, salmon, diary, cereals and famous Lisbon pastries. The hotel itself features fabulous statuary and art on loan from local museums. Especially beautiful was the large lounge where tea was served every afternoon. The building itself is historic and architecturally stunning. Our room had a vaulted ceiling. The only weak spot was the room was under-lit, but it was spacious with a small refrigerator, espresso machine and other conveniences. Also available was the workout room, sauna, spa and indoor pool. In short, this hotel was definitely one of our favorite parts of our great Lisbon vacation. We thank everyone for making it happen.
