Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We focused on hotels with a demonstrable five-star pedigree and consistently strong guest scores — generally from around 9.0 upwards on leading booking platforms. We also factored in recent refurbishments, consistency over time and professional editorial assessments.
Distinctive advantages
Hotels with genuine signature selling points were given additional weight — rooftop terraces and pools with panoramic views, award-winning restaurants, curated art collections or distinctive wellness concepts. We also considered how well each property reflects Lisbon's local identity through its design, materials and guest experiences.
Location and surroundings
We matched each location's character to the likely needs of the guest: the seclusion of Lapa and Estrela, the energy of Chiado, Bairro Alto and Avenida da Liberdade, a waterside setting in Belém and Alcântara, or straightforward logistics in Parque das Nações. We also assessed transport links, walkability and proximity to cultural attractions, restaurants and shopping.
