Memmo Alfama Hotel, Lisbon
More photosExpert reviews
“Billing itself as the first boutique hotel in the historical Alfama neighborhood, the 42-room Memmo Alfama has a rooftop mosaic infinity pool and wine bar that both feature views over the neighborhood and the Tagus River beyond.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Lisbon.
“The Memmo, which opened in late 2013, claims to be the area’s first luxury boutique hotel. In a historic city blessed with seven hills and a river stretching for 10 miles, breathtaking views are not hard to find but few match those from the Memmo’s pool, the surrounding sun deck, and many of the rooms.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Lisbon.
“Offering an authentic taste of Lisbon, this 42-room hotel lies within the Kasbah-like lanes that make up Moorish Alfama. From its sleek terrace, with inset pool, are some of the city’s best views of Alfama’s characteristic church spires and red roofs, beyond which flows the wide Tagus River.”

Stunning from main entry to the views; from every room!
The hotel was very unique. I loved the tour of the boutique hotel before being escorted to our room. The old bakery brick oven, the spectacular views, the infinity pool, service, food & variety of beverages. And the staff & other guests were very friendly. Overall relaxing vibe! I can’t wait to go back!
Coffee beginning at 6am?

Great location , friendly staff, rooftop terrace excellent views and place to relax
Great location for exploring and tucked away so It is not noisy. The roof terrace has amazing views and nice place to relax. Staff really friendly. Drinks & tapas on the terrace recommended.
Rooms a little small & glass walls to bathroom a bit dangerous especially at night when easy to walk into them !
Plunge Pool is more for decoration -so don’t expect to swim laps but very pretty. Not an issue in March anyway

A lovely relaxing stay and we’d highly recommend.
The location was amazing.

The staff was top notch. Ines, Isa, Bianca & Arielle and everyone was kind, attentive and engaging. Ines really want above and beyond to help us hire a photographer for a couple/maternity shoot when our photographer cancelled same day. Breakfast on the terrace was our favorite and we enjoyed the space of our room and view. If you want to be in the city center and walking distance to St George and other things to do this is the place to be.

Very good
Roof terrace was fantastic. Best view in Alfama .
For older people , the lower tables and chairs ar breakfast can be awkward. More traditional dining furniture would be useful, but probably not in keeping with the boutique trendy nature of hotel.

Relaxing stay, very good location to walk everywhere, although tram and bus stop at the end of the entry road to the hot
Welcoming and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was excellent. Room was very great.
Bed was a king size but not very comfortable. Would have been good to have 2 chairs in the bedroom so we could spend more time in there.

Very good services and the breakfast was very nice and nicely presented.
The pillows were uneven and lumpy, but a minor problem.

Lovely stuff. Beautiful facilities with great design details. Brilliant location: in the heart of Alfama but tucked away so that it felt very quiet. Breakfast was beautiful: lovely food and a very nice room.
