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.”

Fabulous!
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.

Upmarket hotel in great location, would definitely recommend to stay here
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

Do not miss this wonderful Gem of a hotel
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!! The location is perfect and it’s very quiet as well

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.

One of the best experiences of our lives
What a fantastic place! Great service by every employee at the hotel. Everyone would go above and beyond to help us and make sure we enjoyed our stay. We loved the facilities and enjoyed the free walking tours provided by the hotel. Also enjoyed the free snacks provided in the room and at the lobby specially the soft serve ice cream. They were even flexible when we had to cut our trip short a night due to unforeseen issues and refunded the one remaining night. Would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect in every way. I would love to stayed every time I am in Lisboa.
An exceptionally comfortable stay. Every little detail was taken care of right from the reception to the room. Ester at the guest service was extremely warm and helpful. The highlight is the walking tour in the morning as well as in the evening which helped us know the city as well as get around on our own. The list is endless… food, service, cleanliness, location everything was perfect!
Can’t think of any.

An excellent three night winter break in one of the best hotels we have stayed in.
This hotel is exceptional. We loved everything from the gorgeous bedrooms, breakfast, complimentary snacks and beverages and the turn down service. The staff were all so highly competent and friendly. Having the concierge talk personally to us at breakfast each morning to ask who our night had been and help us plan our day was excellent service.

Best we can experience
Location is super and accessible to most of the tourist places in Lisbon. We enjoyed the complimentary walking tour. It was very informative. What makes this hotel special is the people. They are friendly, warm and resourceful. We have stayed in many hotels around the world and this hotel is different. It’s not luxurious but it feels like home.

First class experience
I loved everything about this hotel! First and foremost the staff - they work incredibly hard to provide first class friendly service. They go out of their way to make your stay special and cannot do enough for you. By far the best service I have ever experienced in a hotel. When we arrived we were given a free upgrade and breakfast package, which was a pleasant surprise. The location is perfect, close to the waterfront and to one of the main squares which leads you towards the city centre where restaurants and shops are plenty. There is a tour bus that stops just opposite the hotel. We also did the walking tour that the hotel organises for free, which was well worth doing. We were taken to see the Christmas lights and Christmas market and really enjoyed the company of the tour guide. The hotel is immaculate, with lots of nice customer experience touches such as the complimentary sweets and ice cream machine in reception, the bowls of fruit and nuts around the hotel, the coffee machine and soft drinks in the lounge and the tasting hour each evening. On the lower floors you can see parts of the original wall that stood there centuries ago which they have curated into an exhibition along with other artefacts. Breakfast was plentiful and we also ate lunch and dinner here during our stay, which were both delicious and good value for money. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.
The bed was very large and spacious but the mattress was very firm, a bit too firm for me.

The best hotel experience we’ve ever had
Great central location, the room was wonderfully comfortable and the hotel was very well maintained throughout. The breakfast was excellent, and we could not believe all the complimentary snacks that were available day & night. What really sets this hotel apart is the staff who provided the most outstanding service and were so friendly, kind & accommodating - they all created such a lovely atmosphere. We can’t thank them enough for the amazing hospitality, a rare find indeed!
