"With 90 rooms and suites it’s no small affair. The classic rooms are swanky enough, and upgrades span the range all the way up to the river-view suites and the D. Perignon suite, which is over a hundred square meters of exactly what you’d expect the Perignon suite to be. Equally bubbly are the public spaces, the elegant restaurant and bar, and the extravagant ballroom, which might just make you wish you were here for more than just a hotel stay." - MICHELIN Guide

"The Pestana Hotel Group has a knack for turning historical properties into luxe hotels; the Pousada de Lisboa is no exception. Situated on Lisbon’s grandest square, the Praça do Comércio, the 90-room property inhabits the elegant former home of the Ministry of Internal Administration. Furnishings combine clean, modern lines with ornate wall moulding and a neutral color scheme dominated by pale greens and whites. Choose one of the mezzanine rooms for views of São Jorge Castle; the high-ceilinged Suite Praça do Comércio offers sweeping vistas of the square and River Tagus from two large windows. The hotel’s RIB Beef & Wine restaurant caters to the expense account crowd, specializing in premium cuts of meat aged for 14, 28, or 60 days and served with a regional touch: Lodosa piquillo peppers. There’s also an indoor pool lined with loungers, and a spa offering a full range of treatments, including a body scrub inspired by the scents of Madeira and the Algarve."

Pousada de Lisboa, Praça do Comércio (Lisbon, Portugal) 7 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"If you notice a certain repetition in naming, you’re not imagining things — the Pousadas de Portugal are a chain of sorts, created by the government as a way of showcasing the nation’s architectural history, but long since privatized. They’re all a bit different, but they tend to take a classic building, whether a rustic old farmhouse or a gorgeous baroque palace, and kit it out with the latest in luxe-hospitality accoutrements, so you can eat your cultural-history vegetables and enjoy your luxury-hotel dessert all at the same time. And in Pousada de Lisboa, Praça do Comércio, the pousadas have something of an urban flagship: right here in Lisbon’s Palace Square — Commerce Square, in a former government ministry building, you’ll find a hotel that’s worthy of its privileged position along the capital’s waterfront." - Tablet Hotels

We loved our stay here. Fabulous location within walking distance of great restaurants, coffee shops and of course the river, which we could see from our window. The hotel were able to accommodate our request to have our two rooms next door to each other, as we were travelling as a family of 5. We were really grateful for this and any other small issues we had were handled exceptionally well by the team. The building is beautiful and we made good use of the swimming pool. It is small but does the job. Our rooms were pristine and checked in on multiple times a day. We did not manage to eat in the restaurant but my husband and son had a few drinks at the bar and commented on the impeccable service. We were even given a small gift of a traditional Portuguese tile upon our departure. All in all, we would throughly recommend staying here.

Beautiful hotel in the perfect location! The hotel and the rooms are very nice, the staff is exceptional! The entire staff was super friendly and helpful with any and all needs. It was my mother’s 70th birthday while there, they sent a bottle of champagne and dessert to the room for her.| Rooms are large and comfortable, breakfast buffet is very good with a large assortment of options. I will definitely stay here again!

This is no doubt a very beautiful and historic building filled with artworks and the very central situation is its strongest draw card.|And, still on the plus side, the staff were friendly.|What was a great disappointment was my room. Not at all what one would expect from a very expensive luxury hotel. (Prior to my stay here I stayed in very nice hotels in Budapest and Prague, where, even though they were much less expensive, the rooms were fabulous and very welcoming, with great amenities, comfortable beds and storage space.)|My room was so very basic, with thin walls, hardly any storage space, no USB ports, a very basic coffee machine (and a kettle and tea bags I only received on request, as if it is not usually expected) a slippery shower (yes I did receive anti slip mats on request), no desk to speak of as all the room was taken up by the kettle and cups for tea making. It was just not a very welcoming room.|It felt as if whoever designed this hotel (from whatever it was before) tried to squeeze in as many as possible rooms (to the point of having the shower right next to your bed, partitioned by a glass wall and curtain), all to maximize profit. That is a shame as it could have been so much more, such as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

The hotel is spectacular; from the perfect location in Lisbon to the beautiful interior of the property. The amenities were lux, and the front desk very helpful even at 4 am when we were departing. The rooms are a good size, and as I mentioned very luxurious. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone and the outdoor café reminded us of Paris. We will be back!

Beautiful Hotel and excellent location. The Receptionist are amazing and will go out of their way to ensure you are happy and that you have everything you need at all time. They put a lot of time into making our stay very special. Everything from scheduling flights, having amenities brought to our room, making dinner suggestions and reservations for us and giving us guidance the entire time we were there. The Receptionist went as far as to give us great suggestions and recommendations for our say in Algarve. When we return to Lisbon, we will continue to stay at this hotel. It is well worth it and you will be very impressed with the restaurants and service.

It's a gorgeous, historic hotel, perfectly located on the main square near the water. Tons of restaurants, cafes, shops and historic sights are within easy walking distance -- or you can hire a taxi from the taxi stand on the square or try Lisbon's public transit system (although the staff didn't seem to actually know any of the trolley car routes). Our room was large and comfortable, and we enjoyed just exploring the Pousada which has a colorful history, even once a police headquarters. Art and collectibles are scattered throughout the hotel. Their indoor pool is nice but a bit hard to find. In fact, we walked right past the entire hotel initially because the signage is a little-too-tastefully set back from the street. Every afternoon, the tea and cookies were great!

We loved this location as it was very convenient and central when we came by in mid February 2025. We also got a view of the river from the room. Service here was great from the moment you arrive and enter the hotel. Tuna at the front desk was very friendly and was more than willing to help whenever we had questions. The reservation is also under my name but he remembered my husband's name throughout our stay and addressed him appropriately! The room was very cozy and clean. Housekeeping and turn down service was very consistent. We also really enjoyed the breakfast. Again, the staff had amazing service. Highly recommend!

The location of the hotel is superb. The rooms were vey clean and modern. The staff is extremely helpful. This was the second hotel during our stay. We loved the proximity to the river. It was very short, easy walk to the heart of Baxia, which was one of our favorite parts of Lisbon.

Stayed here 1 night end of April 2023, after checking out our 3 night stay at Hyatt Regency Lisbon. ** Pro Tip: Look for Rib Beef and Wine Restaurant as they are in the same building! The location is very central but the hotel was kinda hidden in a way because the hotel signage was quite small. We walked by many times but still confused with Google Map :) Since it was in the heart of Lisbon, the price was quite high. It was close to 400eu Sunday night and IMO on the pricey side for the size of the room given. There were some nice touches that we loved about this hotel. A little spoiler in the photos. The breakfast buffet was excellent and staff friendly.

We had a wonderful time at Pousada de Lisboa, Praça do Comércio! The location is right across from a beautiful square, and the water. I feel like it's central to everything: shopping, eating, and you can Uber or taxi anywhere in the city. It was incredibly clean, I felt like the rooms are large, especially by European standards. And the service was on point from check-in all the way through to our check out. They have a great restaurant for steak onsite. I'd stay here again if I come back to Lisbon.

Wow, wow, wow.. I don't know where to begin. We are on our third day here at Pousada de Lisboa, which we booked through our travel agent at Spain Top. From the moment we entered our hotel we have been blown away by the impeccable service, central location, and wonderful amenities. We arrived early around 1pm and both of our rooms were ready. The receptionist staff was OUTSTANDING: They greeted us as if they'd been expecting us and made check-in an absolute breeze. They helped us plan out our day, which turned out to be fabulous. Both receptionists were beyond kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Breakfast was delicious and in such a lovely setting. This afternoon we came back to the hotel for a rest and enjoyed delicious, complimentary tea service. After a siesta, I realized I had lost my sunglasses. I went downstairs to ask the receptionist and low and behold they had my sunglasses which housekeeping had found in the hallway and graciously returned. Also when I went to acquire an additional key, the receptionist didn't need my room number or name because he already knew them.. This is the definition of a FIVE STAR hotel. I'm extremely selective and let me just say that this hotel has surpassed my expectations. If we return to Lisbon this is where we'll be staying!! And by the way, the location cannot be beat! A+ hotel :)

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. It is phenomenal. From the decor, to the food, to the wonderful service this place is a winner. The concierge and team were helpful for all things associated with my trip to Lisbon prior to my arrival. The corresponded politely and quickly via email for every need. Without skipping a beat I received a free upgrade, taxi service, recommendations and reservations for dining, stellar breakfast, and even a lovely to go bespoke breakfast package before my early flight. Even sweeter, I had a surprise pastry tray in my room waiting after a day of exploring due to a longer check in process. Every member of the staff is eager to please and so proud to do what they do. Overall, the beds sleep well. The facilities are all top notch and there isn't a shortage of places to sit, or experiences to have within the hotel or by the arrangement of one of their lovely team members. I found the closet space to be adequate along with plenty of outlets in the room with excellent flat screen and Bluetooth speakers. The hotels location is very centralized so we were able to walk to hot spots such as the Time Out Market, Manteigaria, Chicago, the Pink Street, Barrio Alto, and Alfama. You can also get the iconic trolley photo right outside the hotel and take phenomenal pictures from the square. I will definitely book with them again when I return to Lisbon to explore more of the town and travel the north of Portugal. Thank you for making my stay so flawless. I truly felt like a princess!

We recently stayed at Pousada de Lisboa for two nights. The location is perfect - it was an easy drive from the airport and is close to public transportation and many sights. Our car was handled promptly when we arrived (€28/day for parking with in/out availability). Check in was easy and pleasant. I has previously asked for a room with a view and we were given a first floor room facing the square with a partial water view. The room was very spacious and had more than enough storage space. The bed was fairly comfortable (a little hard). The bathroom was also spacious and the shower had good water pressure and hot water. The front desk staff were very nice and always ready to answer our questions. Wifi was perfect. We never made it to breakfast or the spa, so I can't comment on those. I would, however, recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Lisbon.

Our family of ten had a wonderful stay at this 5 star luxury pousada, located in the heart of Lisbon with easy access to all the main sites and the ability to walk out the front door and take lovely strolls on the riverfront or cobbled streets. Newly renovated and tastefully decorated, the rooms are luxurious with king sized beds and comfortable pillows and linens. The gym/pool/sauna was a lovely way to start and end long days of running around a city with so much to do. Highly recommend the breakfast buffet with a broad selection of hot and cold items and fresh fruit and juices. We loved this hotel for so many reasons - but the number one reason was the staff. Before, during, and after our stay the excellent staff helped us plan our trip, organized an excellent guide (Cidalia) and driver, booked restaurants for our large group, took care of every need, request, and (a week after we left the hotel), helped us research how to have a painting in Coimbra crated and shipped to the US. Corneliu, Vanessa, Patricia, Bernardo, Joao, and all the others at Reception and throughout the hotel - thank you for a magical trip that every member of the Esteves family deeply appreciated and will always remember. We booked the Pousada for all the 5 star attributes it has to offer - but it was the the staff that stole our hearts left feeling like well cared for family. We didn't want to leave the Pousada and we can't wait to return.
