Príncipe Real Hotel Lisboa
Contemporary minimalist with warm Portuguese materials — limestone floors, oak, green velvet banquettes, chandeliers from Santa & Cole. Classic meets current. A local crowd comes for the terrace bar at sunset, which gives it more of a neighbourhood hangout energy than a hushed luxury hotel.
Book directly on the official website: breakfast is included plus you get a free Port & Tonic cocktail kit in the room.
Why It Matters
The first five-star boutique hotel in Príncipe Real, and a member of Design Hotels with Marriott Bonvoy earn capability. The hotel sits literally hidden from street level — you have to know to look for it. The complimentary daily neighbourhood walking tour is a genuine insider touch, not a tick-box amenity.
Memmo Príncipe Real is a 41-room, five-star boutique hotel perched on a hill in Lisbon's Príncipe Real district — the first five-star property in a neighbourhood that locals have long considered their own. You reach it through a narrow street and a small tunnel, which means most tourists walk straight past it. The building is a sleek geometric cube designed by architect Samuel Torres de Carvalho, clad in the same limestone used in the city's royal palaces, with a fully transparent ground floor that blurs the line between the lobby, restaurant, and street. Rooms are compact — most under 30sqm — but the city views and thoughtful design more than compensate. And four Exclusive Rooms come with private outdoor terraces with fireplaces, which is a serious upgrade.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Exclusive Room
One of only four rooms with a private outdoor balcony featuring an open-air fireplace — the standout option at this hotel. At 26sqm inside, the room itself isn't larger than a Superior, but the exclusive terrace makes it feel like a completely different experience. Available with queen or twin beds (subject to check-in availability).
Queen or Twin · 26 sqmSuperior City View Room
A compact 28sqm room with a queen bed and direct city views. Natural light, clean design lines, Bang & Olufsen TV, minibar, Hermès bathroom amenities, and a rain shower. The views are the real draw.
Queen · 28 sqm
Superior Room
The entry-level room at 26–28sqm. Queen bed, all standard amenities, no city view guarantee. Thoughtfully designed with limestone accents and the same Hermès toiletries as all other rooms. Rooms are on the small side, which reviewers consistently note.
Queen · 27 sqmSuperior Terrace Room
A 25sqm room with a shared terrace and city views. The smallest room type but with outdoor terrace access, which puts you closest to the panoramic views. Note: some guests find the bathroom layout and terrace-sharing setup not to everyone's taste — worth reading reviews before booking.
Queen · 25 sqmSuperior Two Bedroom
At 45sqm the largest option in the hotel, with two separate bedrooms — one with a twin and one with a double. The only room suited to families or two couples travelling together. Reviews confirm the Family Room gets good marks for comfort and service.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A 90-minute guided walking tour of Príncipe Real, run daily by hotel staff. Covers local culture, hidden spots, the best shops, restaurants and bars in the area. Departs at 5pm. This is genuinely curated and useful — not a generic city tour.
A small outdoor pool on the terrace with panoramic views over Lisbon, integrated with the restaurant and bar area. Heated. Open to hotel guests. Best used for lounging and city-gazing rather than serious swimming — it's compact, and guests note it's more of a feature than a lap pool.
Every room comes with a complimentary home bar setup to make a Port & Tonic, the hotel's signature Portuguese welcome cocktail. A small but memorable touch that gets highlighted in almost every guest review.
