Corpo Santo Historical Hotel, Lisbon
Expert reviews
“This is an upscale property that opened in 2017 near the lively Cais do Sodré district, with welcoming staff, a convenient location, an on-site restaurant and 77 plush, neutral-hued rooms.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Lisbon.
“Step inside the boutique hotel to discover a sleek aesthetic that expertly fuses modernity with Lisbon’s storied past. An upscale dining room takes décor cues from Portugal’s seafaring history and a swanky lounge built around a preserved section of a 14th-century stone wall invites both curiosity and tranquility.”

VIP experience and a perfect place to stay in Lisbon
Our stay was a fantastic experience, thanks mostly to wonderful staff (special thanks to Andre), who definitely exceeded any expectations we might have had regarding customer service. They made us feel like VIPs and although I could see that was their usual treatment of all guests, it still made us feel special :) Add a perfect location - close to Praca do Comercio and Pink Street, but quiet and easily accessible - and complimentary food and drinks for hotel guests. Breakfasts were amazing - with various dishes a la carte, several types of healthy juices, impeccable service. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, with modern appliances, including multi-sensory shower cabin). The nearby restaurant recommended by Andre, was a great culinary experience.

Fabulous, polished customer service on all fronts
Amazing customer service orientation in all the staff we encountered. Appreciated how polished they were, and how well they spoke English. The little touches - free snacks, bottles of water, fruit etc - were also fantastic.
Only comment would be that the dinner we had at the restaurant onsite was very expensive.

A five-star boutique hotel in an ideal location with a team that has a perfect attention to detail.
From the moment we arrived at the hotel by taxi from the airport, the welcome and assistance from the team on reception was both genuinely warm and professional in an almost old-fashioned, or traditional, way: literally five-star. The location is perfect for exploring this beautiful city. Breakfast was exceptionally good - with an attention to detail in every aspect.
We wished we could have stayed longer - and we certainly will when we next return to Lisbon!

Incredible hotel, where the team cannot do enough for you.
I am very fussy with hotels and can honestly say that the Corpo Santo was fantastic. We loved everything and couldn’t find a single fault. From check in (expediting this as we unexpectedly arrived early), the facilities, our room (including a great bed, comfy pillows and a balcony view), great food (breakfast is unbelievable!!) and the incredible complimentary extras provided - We went on a walking tour with Ana for 2 hours around the old town and learnt so much about the city history. We also managed to attend a wine tasting and got to try some delicious Portuguese wine. Sadly we missed the cheese and gin tasters, but imagine they would have been as good. Also, the lounge downstairs set amongst the old town wall from the 1400’s was wonderful. Genuinely one of the best places I have had the pleasure of visiting - Absolutely lovely place to stay. Loved it.

We had a pleasant stay in Lisbon. The room service and reception were very good, and we especially want to highlight Ester, who gave us a walking tour—she was extremely kind, friendly, and truly the best staff member at the hotel.
However, the breakfast was disappointing. The variety was very limited, it was not a buffet-style breakfast, and the service was quite slow.

Beautiful hotel in a great location with impeccable service.
Beautiful hotel in a great location. So many nice amenities - an outstanding breakfast served daily plus other food and beverages available throughout the day, free walking tours twice a day along with workshops on interesting topics, and complimentary spa services. These were all great, but the hotels service is nothing short of amazing. Every staff member that we encountered was both friendly and genuinely helpful. It's rare to find such exceptional service these days.
Everything was perfect.

Our stay at your hotel was magical.
Everything about this hotel was outstanding! All staff members went above and beyond any hotel we have ever stayed at (including Waldorf Astoria). The complimentary walking tours, tasting workshops (wine and pastel de nata, etc.) and snacks were great amenities. The breakfast was amazing!

Location was excellent. It was well-connected transport-wise. Staff was very caring and proactive. There are several great experiences that made our stay memorable. Would strongly recommend this hotel to whoever wants to stay at Lisbon.

Outstanding service
The service was astounding. I arrived with a gash on my leg from a minor accident. I asked for ice. They not only brought ice, the gentleman bought a first aid kit and sat me down and took care of the injury. On another occasion, we asked to find a grocery store. The staff insisted on walking g with us four blocks to show us the store. This has never happened before in staying in a hotel. There is food and drinks I. The lobby at all times, and they have a tapa wine hour in the evenings, Although we had a basic room, it was spacious and beautifully furnished. This is our second time at this hotel and will return if we come back to Lisbon. BTW the location was perfect.

Wonderful luxury hotel with super helpful and friendly staff. Although we only had time to spend one evening at the hotel prior to our Portugal departure, it was an incredible place to finish our trip. Hotel is perfectly located for easy access to Chiado, Alfama, etc. Rooms were clean and nicely appointed with high quality bedding. It was a pleasant surprise to receive a bottle of sparkling wine and free refreshments in the mini-bar. The hotel also provided free city tours and other activities. We especially enjoyed the refreshment bar in the lobby with cookies and candy. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Wonderful renovated property in historic building in a great location near the river with easy access to trains & trams and walking distance to everywhere. Super staff available for a chat or help if required. Walking tours are a must to get your bearings and learn about Lisbon - they also know the best way to get you up to the hilly areas the best way possible. Daily treats were a great touch

From start to finish it was amazing! We loved the free walking tours and all the freebies that the hotel provided! The breakfast was wonderful and a great variety The staff couldn’t do enough for you Make sure someone explains the shower to you as it can be a bit confusing and there are lights and music which are a really cool idea!!

Location excellent for first time visitors to Lisbon which we were. Rooms very comfortable. Restaurant and bar great 👍 and bonus sauna and jacuzzi facilities 👌. What does set this apart from other options is all the small extras given for free to all the guests. This includes small sweet treats, coffee etc during the day and wine hour in the evening. They also offer wine tasting experiences in the restaurant also complimentary. This was really great and fantastic staff who make this enjoyable and comfortable experience..

The best hotel in lisbon!
We are family of 4. Ordered 2 rooms with an inside connection door between the rooms. Everyrhing was just wonderful. The hotel in general and the rooms in particular were very clean. The rooms were spacious. All available food and drinks inside the rooms were complimentary. The staff was so nice and kind and their service was extraordinary in every aspect! The location was very good, 5 min walk from the sea, 15 min walk from rossio squere and there are many shops near the hotel. If there was a higher score beyond 10, they definitly deserve it.
No bad things. Everything was fantastic.

Excellent stay! Staff and hotel fantastic
Hotel was great and staff fantastic, they couldn’t do enough for you. They upgraded us to 2 connecting rooms which was good as daughter and her friend were then next door. The bathrooms were fully equipped including Moulton Brown toiletries and the shower was amazing with relaxing lighting and music (never had that before). Complimentary bottle of Prosecco, mini bar & coffee. Breakfast was on till 11 which meant you have flexibility to manage your day ie visit Spa first! They had happy hour, free walking tours and sweets, cake, ice cream and bottled water freely available. Excellent stay.
This is really, really picky but something my daughter mentioned. If you have a twin room offer 2 shower caps. Something me and my husband wouldn’t use but both girls used them! Everything was perfect!

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed
The staff were really warm and the service was impeccable. Not only do they cater to your every need within the hotel, they also proactively offer to give recommendations to help you adjust your travel itinerary to make the most out of your trip in and around Lisbon. My wife and I really appreciated the small little touches like free drinks and snacks all day long at the lobby, free snacks and drinks in the room (everything in the room was complimentary and refilled twice a day), as well as the free and informative guided tours. We stayed for 5 nights and looked forward to coming "home" to the hotel every evening to see what new snacks were provided at the lobby (e.g. freshly made pancakes, hotdog stand, ice-cream machine, local snacks, etc). Breakfast at the hotel was also really good. We especially liked the eggs benedict.

Simply wonderful hotel
Everything! Can't say enough about the staff and how everyone made us feel at home. The daily city tours provided by the hotel was just one of the perks that put this hotel on top of its class. The breakfast was amazing I loved that it was made to order and not a buffet. Offering nightly wine and appetizers along with all the wonderful snacks that were available throughout the day was a special treat Another plus, we had a complementary beer, water and sodas in our room and it just made it that special. The hotel is close to all the main public transportation, walking distances to the river and historical sites. Many shopping areas in Baixa-Chaido. Loved the location.
One thing I would suggest is to upgrade the electrical plug with some USB. Thank God I brought some converters to charge my phone and laptop.
