1908 Lisboa Hotel

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.

Lisbon is one of those cities that I know we’ll keep going back to throughout our lives. This beautiful city has so much to offer. The hills are a huge part of the charm, the views from so many different locations are breathtaking. The tile buildings here are beautiful and so unique. The trolleys and funiculars add to the experience and make traversing the city so much fun. The food is excellent, there are so many options, and so much to see. It is easy to understand why Lisbon is a popular place of residence for expats from all over the world, we could actually see ourselves living in Lisbon some day, too. I have been to Lisbon multiple times so I have a lot of recommendations here!  Hopefully you can pick and choose what suits you best on your stay in Lisbon! The things I've listed should give you more than enough to do for a few days. This guide will include everything I've personally done in Lisbon with honest details about each location. I will also list some wish-list spots in a section at the end that includes things that I still haven't done yet in Lisbon that I have planned and researched and hope to do on a future visit.

We've been to Lisbon twice now and have spent almost two weeks there during those trips. It's one of our favourite cities in Europe and we know that it's somewhere we'll continue to return to time and time again. This guide includes our favourite spots. What to pack. What to expect from the city. Where to eat and where to drink. Plus a few other tips on travelling around the city and what to avoid whilst you're there.
