Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“Located mid-way between downtown and the historic Belém district, this is the height of five-star luxury, a Belle Époque palace built by a marquess who made his fortune importing chocolate from cocoa plantations on the equatorial island of São Tomé.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Lisbon.

Fodors review:

‘It’s a little off the tourist trail, but this grand hotel overlooking the River Tagus is well worth seeking out. It offers four suites in the original palace, as well as more accessible accommodations in more modern wings.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Lisbon.

Forbes review:

“The Portuguese-owned Pestana Group has a knack for melding tourism and history, and Pestana Palace Lisboa Hotel & National Monument is clearly the pinnacle of that passion.”

Great hotel, great location. The room needed updating.

Exceptional building, lovingly restored. Gave the impression of an intimate, boutique experience. Yet also had modern pool and facilities.

The aircon in my room didn’t work, nor did the hairdryer, which was a dated wall assembly.

Hotel Pestana Palace Lisbon

The staff were friendly and helpful in the restaurant and bar.

Housekeeping was slow and inefficient, but after speaking with the manager, the situation improved strongly. We were happy with the feedback we received from the hotel manager. She was very helpful.

Grand, impressive hotel with amazing decor, but some staff issues.

Beautiful gardens, the building and decor. Large, comfortable rooms with coffee machine, complimentary port, water.

The heated pool was a little cold, the hamam was not hot and the room cleaning staff twice entered our room without knocking.

Now we realize there are a chain of hotel by Pestana and in the future will look for them for our next vacation plans

Everything……beautiful! The highlight of our trip! Can’t stop telling everyone how wonderful it was!

No complaints. Just the bathroom was kind of dark. I tried using the small mirror to apply makeup. It’s too far from sink area and so dark.next time I’ll just bring my own…..we will definitely recommend the hotel to everyone and surely return again

A nice "palace" luxury hotel

It is a Palace, so it was a unique experience to stay in a hotel of this old European style.

The location is ok, it was nice to walk around the surroundings, but it is not walkable to the city center.

We would definitely return

Beautiful hotel in Belem, staff was very friendly and helpful. Lovely garden and pavilion perfect for lunch on the terrace.

A bit walking from the wing to the restaurant in the main building, but not a big problem for us.

Quite possibly the best breakfast we've had. Exquisite and abundant. The pool and spa was luxurious and the palace itself was open to freely seep into a bygone palatial era.

Fabulous

Beautiful hotel, Stunning gardens and fantastic pools - If you want luxury look no further. Breakfast in the palace rooms was superb.

Our room was a bit dated but we did know that when we booked. We stayed for the facilities. If owners are reading, rooms could do with a spruce up ; )

Feel like royalty in a palace

The best hotel we’ve ever stayed in ! You are treated like royalty . The staff is nice and kind as well as very skillful . The landscaping is green and lush and makes you forget you are in Lisbon and not a resort. There are beautiful pools and good restaurants,all one can wish for in one place.
