Luxury boutique living at The Lumiares Hotel & Spa

The Lumiares Hotel & Spa sits on a quiet street in the Bairro Alto and Chiado area of Lisbon, set inside an 18th-century palace that has been converted into 49 rooms and suites. The neighbourhood is one of the city's oldest, full of small shops, fado houses and cafes, and it climbs through narrow streets towards the river. From the front door you can walk to the Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara in a couple of minutes for one of the best free viewpoints over the rooftops.

This deal covers a 1 Bedroom Double Suite with a separate living area and a full kitchen, so it works well if you want more space than a standard room. The bedroom has a double bed and a private bathroom finished in patterned tiles. The top of the building holds a rooftop spa and terrace with views across Lisbon towards the Tagus, and there is a restaurant on site. The room is booked on a room-only basis, with breakfast available to add at the hotel.

You are within a short walk of much of central Lisbon. Rossio Square is about 430 metres away, and the Carmo Convent ruins and the Chiado shopping streets are close by too. Restauradores metro station sits roughly 280 metres from the hotel, which makes the rest of the city easy to reach. Trindade Theatre and the Foz Palace are both under 300 metres on foot.

A good fit for couples who want a central base in Lisbon with room to spread out. The suite layout and kitchen suit a longer city break, and the rooftop spa gives you somewhere to wind down after a day of walking the hills.
