The 10 best hotels in Lisbon for 2027, ranked from 64 hotels we vetted across eight neighbourhoods, plus the best by category and by area, with what a night costs by season.

What You Should Know

  • This ranking comes from 64 hotels we had already vetted for our eight Lisbon neighbourhood guides and our airport guide. Every one had rates on most of our twelve 2027 sample nights and passed a check of its 40 most recent reviews.
  • We rank by guest score adjusted for review volume, so a 9.8 from 400 reviews doesn't automatically beat a 9.6 from 3,600. Five of the top ten are in the Baixa, Chiado or on the Avenida da Liberdade, the flattest and most central parts of the city.
  • Prices for the top ten run from €87 a night for two at Lumen in December to €545 at Art Legacy on our July night, before Lisbon's tourist tax of €4 per person per night.
  • Two of the top ten, Heritage Avenida Liberdade and Hotel Avenida Palace, are listed in our hotel data as not accepting children; the best family options are further down this page.

Best Hotels in Lisbon: The Short Answer

Our pick is Hotel da Baixa, a four-star on Rua da Prata in the middle of the Baixa, three minutes from Rossio: 9.8/10 from 2,565 reviews, with rates in every month from €147 to €384 a night for two. It is third in our ranking, a hair behind Blue Liberdade and Corpo Santo, and we pick it because it matches their score from the most central, flattest address of the three, with a restaurant and stronger recent reviews than Blue Liberdade.

For luxury, Corpo Santo (5★, 9.8/10) has the strongest recent reviews of any hotel we checked in Lisbon. For atmosphere, Santiago de Alfama is a five-star in a pre-1755 building below the castle. For value, Lumen (9.6/10, with a pool) cost €87 to €197 on every night we sampled, and on a budget, Rossio Plaza (9.2/10) never topped €124.

Still deciding on an area? Our guide to where to stay in Lisbon compares all eight neighbourhoods, and each has its own hotel guide, linked in the section by area below.

Two notes on these picks. Martinhal Lisbon Chiado and Martinhal Lisbon Oriente have far fewer reviews than the other hotels here, so weigh their scores accordingly. And Meliá Lisboa Aeroporto's recent reviews averaged 8.6, with one mould report in October 2026; our airport guide explains why we still recommend it for a night before a flight.

The 10 Best Hotels in Lisbon, Ranked

The ranking uses each hotel's guest score adjusted for how many reviews it has (the method is under How We Ranked These Hotels). The recent column is the average of each hotel's 40 most recent reviews, the newest from October 2026, which shows whether a hotel is holding its score. The last two columns are the cheapest rate for two on our January and July 2027 sample nights, before the tourist tax.

The 10 Best Hotels in Lisbon, Reviewed

1. Blue Liberdade Hotel

3★, 9.8/10 from 3,105 reviews. On Praça dos Restauradores at the foot of the Avenida da Liberdade, a few minutes from Rossio and the metro. It tops our ranking because it pairs a 9.8 with the most reviews of the three 9.8 hotels at the top. Guests mention free fizz in the lobby, flavoured water and sweet treats, spotless rooms and very helpful staff. €99 in January, €205 in April, €158 in July and €310 in September. Watch out for: the rooms are tiny, the square outside is busy, and its 40 most recent reviews averaged 9.1, the lowest recent average in our top ten. More in our Baixa and Chiado guide.

2. Corpo Santo Lisbon Historical Hotel

5★, 9.8/10 from 2,645 reviews. On Largo do Corpo Santo, a flat few minutes from Cais do Sodré station and Praça do Comércio, with a spa and a section of the 14th-century city wall inside. Its recent reviews averaged 9.75, the strongest of any hotel we checked in Lisbon. Guests feel pampered, praise the breakfast and, in some rooms, the size. €256 in January, €429 in April, €531 in May and €319 in July. Watch out for: room sizes vary and one guest found the carpet worn; for September and October 2027 it showed only a flat placeholder rate, so check those dates directly. More in our Cais do Sodré and Santos guide.

3. Hotel da Baixa (our pick)

4★, 9.8/10 from 2,565 reviews. On Rua da Prata in the middle of the Baixa grid, three minutes from Rossio on flat ground. Guests praise the staff, the breakfast and a concierge-led walk of the neighbourhood that several mention by name. €147 in January, €291 in April, €278 in July and €384 in September, its dearest month. We pick it over the two hotels ranked just above because its score is level with theirs and its location is the most central and flattest of the three; it is also a four-star with a restaurant, and its recent reviews (9.2) are stronger than Blue Liberdade's. Watch out for: the lifts are small, one guest found breakfast poor, and one found the bathroom blind too see-through for the buildings opposite.

4. Santiago de Alfama

5★, 9.8/10 from 693 reviews. A boutique hotel in a building that survived the 1755 earthquake, on Rua de Santiago between the cathedral and the castle. Its recent reviews averaged 9.7. Guests describe it as quiet and sumptuous, with outstanding food and fun, helpful staff. Prices barely move: €258 from December to February, €292 on most nights from April to August and €377 in September and October. Watch out for: ride-hailing cars can't reach the street, so expect to carry bags over cobbles, and Alfama means hills. More in our Alfama guide.

5. Lumen Hotel & The Lisbon Light Show

4★, 9.6/10 from 3,632 reviews. On Rua Sousa Martins between Saldanha and Marquês de Pombal, with an outdoor pool, a gym and a video-mapping show in its garden each evening. Recent reviews averaged 9.3. The best value in our top ten: €87 to €111 from November to March and never above €197. Watch out for: it is about 25 minutes' walk from Rossio, so you'll use the metro, and a couple of recent guests had an unpleasant encounter with a staff member. More in our Saldanha guide.

6. Heritage Avenida Liberdade

4★, 9.6/10 from 1,730 reviews, with recent reviews averaging 9.7. An 18th-century building at Avenida da Liberdade 28, about eight minutes from Rossio, with a small indoor pool. Guests mention high ceilings, period detail, good double glazing and outstanding staff. €135 to €148 from November to February and €196 to €258 from March to October, with a dip to €141 in August. Watch out for: our hotel data lists it as not accepting children. More in our Avenida da Liberdade guide.

7. Hotel Avenida Palace

5★, 9.6/10 from 1,486 reviews. A 19th-century grand hotel beside Rossio station, overlooking Restauradores, with free valet parking, rare in the centre, and a breakfast guests rate highly. The steadiest price in our top ten, €271 to €352 on every night we sampled, so it is relatively better value in summer than in winter. Watch out for: some guests find the rooms old-fashioned, with firm beds and a musty smell on arrival, and our hotel data lists it as not accepting children.

8. Art Legacy Hotel Baixa-Chiado

5★, 9.8/10 from 428 reviews. On Rua Áurea, five minutes from Rossio, where some rooms have a terrace or a view over the Baixa, and the front desk staff are named in review after review. €187 in December and January, €209 to €280 on the other nights, except €545 on our July night. It ranks eighth rather than higher because its 9.8 rests on far fewer reviews. Watch out for: reviews of the breakfast are mixed, and one guest found a shower door leaked.

9. Emporium Lisbon Suites

4★, 9.6/10 from 1,233 reviews. Suites and apartments with kitchenettes on Rua dos Bacalhoeiros in lower Alfama, one of the few Alfama addresses with a flat walk to the Baixa. Guests mention very large rooms and a host who meets them on arrival. €126 from December to February and €185 on most nights from April to October, with €261 in May; it had no rates for November or October. Watch out for: one guest heard the next room through the wall, and some units have a shower curtain over the bath.

10. As Janelas Verdes Inn

4★, 9.6/10 from 1,151 reviews. An 18th-century house in Santos, a couple of minutes from the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, with a top-floor library and a terrace over the river. Guests praise the staff, who let one guest into their room early after a dawn flight. €103 in December, €217 in April, €168 in July and €240 in September; it had no January rate. Watch out for: it is about 2 km from Rossio, so most guests use the tram, a taxi or the train.

Each of Lisbon's main areas has its own guide with every hotel we'd book there. This is our pick in each, and where to find the rest.

What Lisbon's Best Hotels Cost by Season

The cheapest available rate for two adults for one night, checked on 30 October 2026, on four Wednesday sample nights in 2027. Each figure is the lowest price on offer that night, whatever the room type, meal plan or cancellation terms, so it is usually non-refundable. A dash means the hotel had no published rate for that night, or only a placeholder rate we left out.

Mid-September cost more than mid-July at seven of the nine hotels with a September rate, and January was the cheapest at every hotel with a January rate except Hotel Avenida Palace. In our twelve-month sample, May was also expensive, with Corpo Santo at €531. For a top-ten hotel at a lower price, travel between November and February; see Lisbon in January and Lisbon in September for what the weather is like either side.

Our Take

The hotels that disappoint in Lisbon reviews rarely fail on the room; they fail on the hill or the street outside. Check how steep the walk home is and how close a car can get before you look at anything else.

Tips for Booking a Hotel in Lisbon

  • Check the hill. The Baixa, the Avenida and the riverfront are flat; Alfama, Bairro Alto and the castle hill are not. Our area guides give walking times to Rossio for every hotel.
  • Check car access. Ride-hailing cars can't reach many doors in Alfama and Bairro Alto, so ask the hotel where to be dropped, or book its transfer; our Lisbon airport transfer guide compares the options.
  • Check the child policy. Several of the best-reviewed hotels don't accept children, including Heritage Avenida Liberdade, Hotel Avenida Palace, Memmo Alfama and Solar do Castelo. For families, the two Martinhal hotels and Emporium's suites are the easiest choices.
  • Compare like with like. Our prices are the cheapest rate each night, usually non-refundable and often without breakfast. A refundable rate with breakfast costs more; check what's included before comparing two hotels.
  • Add the tourist tax. Lisbon charges €4 per person per night, up to seven nights, on top of every rate on this page.
  • Plan the days too. Our best things to do in Lisbon covers what to see from whichever base you choose.

How We Ranked These Hotels

We ranked the 64 hotels we had already vetted for our eight Lisbon neighbourhood guides and our airport guide. To get onto those guides, each hotel had to have bookable rates on most of our twelve monthly sample nights between 25 November 2026 and 13 October 2027, and pass a check of its 40 most recent reviews for theft, safety, pest, mould and closure reports; the few exceptions are explained on each guide.

  • The ranking: a hotel with a 9.8 from 400 reviews is less certain than one with a 9.6 from 3,600, so we adjust each guest score towards the average of all 64 hotels (9.27) in proportion to how few reviews it has. The formula is score × reviews ÷ (reviews + 500) + 9.27 × 500 ÷ (reviews + 500). Hotels with thousands of reviews keep almost their full score; hotels with a few hundred are pulled towards the average.
  • Our pick: the ranking is a guide, not the final word. Hotel da Baixa is our pick at number three because its adjusted score is effectively level with the two above it, and it has the best location of the three. We also show each hotel's recent-review average, so you can see where a hotel's latest guests rate it below its headline.
  • Prices: the cheapest available rate for two adults for one night, in euros, re-checked for every hotel on this page on 30 October 2026, before Lisbon's tourist tax and other fees. It is the lowest price on offer regardless of room type, meal plan or cancellation terms, so flexible rates and breakfast usually cost more. We treat a repeated flat rate far above a hotel's usual price, such as Corpo Santo's €1,600 for September and October 2027, as a placeholder and leave it out. The live grid prices a three-night stay about 30 days ahead instead. The final price is always set by Expedia or Booking.com, whichever you book on.
  • Ratings and reviews: guest scores out of 10 and review counts come from our hotel data partner, Nuitée, and were checked on 30 October 2026.
