Hotel Palacio Belmonte (Suite max 2 pax)

This is more an experience than a hotel, purely for the discerning traveller who appreciates only the best and where money is no object. Situated in the Alfama district, beneath the walls of the St. George Castle with breathtaking views over Lisbon, could things get any better this? The answer is yes. A luxury Palace, the first in Lisbon with individually styled suites totalling just eleven. The building dates back to 1449 and it has been restored beautifully to encapsulate pure decadence. After five years of restoration the hotel exudes luxury, style and tradition with all the modern comforts. A stunning pool area with black marble surround and raised decking awaits you set amidst a peaceful hideaway. The Palacio Belmonte will leave a lasting impression with nothing else quite like it.

Suite: Magnificent range of suites incorporating the best in local flare. Many of the rooms have magnificent views over the old town and down to the River Tages, and some have small / large patios, terraces or balconies that allow you to simply absorb the surroundings and drift to another place and time.
