Alecrim ao Chiado  

In the heart of Lisbon’s Chiado district, a short stroll from Rossio Square and the Santa Justa Elevator. Main sights like Commerce Square and Baixa-Chiado are within easy walking distance, and metro, train and bus links sit less than three minutes away.

This small, boutique guesthouse lives in an 18th-century building rebuilt after the 1755 quake and refreshed in 2015. Expect original tiled walls, noble stone stairs and sunlit, very large rooms with big windows. First-floor rooms open onto balconies. Rooms are practical and comfy — espresso makers, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning and some kitchenettes are available, plus safes and separate sitting areas.

A cozy bar, on-site restaurant and a café keep things buzzing. Complimentary wireless internet throughout. There’s a massage room and spa center, a library for slow hours, and bicycles to rent for quick city escapes. Concierge, laundry and dry-cleaning services are on hand, and a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Meeting and presentation facilities and a conference hall make group plans easy. Express check-in and check-out plus complimentary wireless internet keep work moving.

Start the day with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily. Grab coffee in the café, linger at the bar/lounge, or order room service when you feel like lounging. Espresso makers in rooms mean your Portuguese coffee fix is always close.
