❤️ My Favorite Hotels in Portugal

I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental.
I've been a Portugal specialist since 2019 and have lived in Lisbon since 2022. This means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years.
Here I'm sharing a collection of some of my favorite hotels.

Newly opened, steps away from Praca da Comercio. Charming but their entry level rooms tend to be a little small.

H10 Duque de Loulé
@taliamazepa
The H10 Duque de Loulé is a contemporary boutique hotel housed in a restored 18th-century palace, offering stylish and comfortable rooms, a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, and a central location near Marquez de Pombal Circle. It's blue and white decor mirror the azulejos you find all over the city. It's a great 4 star option!

Palácio Ludovice Wine Experience Hotel
@taliamazepa
$$$
Charming 18th-century palace of the architect to the king that has been transformed into a boutique hotel. The hotel has a remarkable port wine collection and as a guest, you can attend one of the wine tasting they offer. It sits directly across the Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara.

Corpo Santo Lisbon Historical Hotel
@taliamazepa
The Corpo Santo Hotel is a luxurious boutique hotel housed in a restored 19th-century building. What I like most about it is attention to detail, down to the fresh pancakes they serve each traveler upon arrival. It's 5 minutes walking from the Praco do Commercio.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Talia Mazepa
Available for hire
Hi, I’m Talia! I’m the owner of Mazepa Travel and currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I was born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine. Throughout the course of my life, I ended up moving 18 different times and living in 8 different countries including Saudi Arabia, China and Spain. This ignited my passion for travel. I love the feeling of discovering a new culture, a new phrase, a different time to eat dinner or a different way to express gratitude.
I’ve pursued this passion by spending the last 12 years studying and working in the luxury travel and hospitality industry. I love helping travelers discover hidden gems and build connections through authentic experiences.
Let me help you discover your adventure.
