It is difficult to express how much we enjoyed this charming, spotless, welcoming botique hotel.
Just steps from the Baixa-Chiado station, a 3 minute walk to the large, harbour facing plaza Praca do Comercio and easy walking dostance to Rossio, Alfama, Bairro Alto and more.
We loved it so much that we cancelled another reservation for our 5 night return to Lisbon and instead, stayed here again.
The first room was a standard well appointed room, king bed, beautiful Marble bathroom. We returned to the Suite Castle View with majestic views of the S. Jorge Castle, illuminated with sunshine in the day, and lights at night.
You step off of the street, that is closed to traffic and set up for dining, into a warm, cozy den like "lobby" that does not resemble a traditional concierge at all. Dark wood, red velvet chairs, plants all set the visual for the smoky Spotify playlist and walls filled with oversized, trendy books of people, places, objects.
Staff is laid back & accommodating. The area would be considered touristy, but all of the streets are closed to traffic for blocks in every direction, giving the area the feeling of community with table after table and lovely burst of fire from the heaters.
Rarely would we eat in a hotel, but their menu was great and food impressive. Twice we had breakfast which was hosted at their close other Browns Central and it was lovely.
We loved it here, highly recommended. No where else we would have rather been after walking every inch of the area.
We will not be returning to Lisbon so quickly, but if we did, it would be right back to Browns Boutique.
