This truly is a gem in Lisbon! From the moment you walk into the Palacio, the staff was so friendly and helpful which sets the tone! Our room was just as pictured and a beautiful bathroom with a garden view. We enjoyed complimentary wine and cheeses in the garden in the afternoon. The breakfast was the best of our 2 week travels in Europe- each room had specially foods while the pianist played music. Highly recommend this 4 ⭐️ which is in my opinion a 5 ⭐️ because of it’s service and ambiance!

Beautiful hotel, centrally located -between Bairro Alto and Chiado. Lovely amenities, nice decor, enjoyed the breakfast, the room was reasonably soundproofed and the staff was very friendly. If you can make the time, reserve a table for their Fado dinner show.

This hotel offered a very unique experience - a refurbished palace from 1800!! how fabulous. there were welcome/anytime drinks at the bar with custard tarts, wine tasting with a great outside lounge area, intimate spa facilities and a great breakfast with hot and cold selections including a great selection of fresh baked pastries. the staff were soooo friendly and helpful. The ONLY negative to be aware of is if you get a room facing the street it may prove to be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper.

The Palace was exceptionally beautiful. Every corner of this hotel had elegant charm and the staff was so welcoming and super nice. Both ladies at the spa were amazing especially Johaira, our waitor Clever at the Fado restaurant was so friendly and Victoria at the front desk was just absolutely sweet.

The hotel is amazing, is like you are living in a palace. The interior of the hotel and the room is breathtaking. We loved the welcome drink - wine tasting. Dinner + fado performance was great. Negative things: Hotel didn't congratulate me on my birthday. During last 10 years travelling around the world on my birthday, it was first time when hotel didn't pay attention and i felt forgotten. It could be some small gesture, like small cake or bottle of wine or even a card. There was 0 attention to it. Also during breakfast no one greeted us, no one explained what and where to find. Some stations we noticed only when we were leaving. With customer service improved I could 10 out of 10. Now i would rate 7.5 out of 10.
