- “The bathroom (both large soaking tub and walk-in shower) was beautifully designed with a combination of white sanitary units (modern Duravit toilet 'Toto' style) but more traditional (twin) sinks; the walls either black gloss or amber-coloured marble with both a heated floor and heated mirrors (great for steam avoidance).” 13

- “Smart (if slightly dated) décor continues, with balconies overlooking Parque Eduardo VII.” 26

- “The exceptionally attentive staff, ideal location and excellent cuisine delighted recent guests.” 17
- “Memmo Principe Real if you're looking for something more ... Edition-like and great service” 8

- “Bulgari toiletries leave a fresh scent in the green-tiled and marble bathrooms, which boast soaking tubs, separate glass showers and dual vanities with the softest of towels.” 5

- “Check-in is smooth-from the entrance on the slanted street, guests are whisked inside to a lobby disarmingly luscious (white marble, gilded touches) considering the exterior.” 14

- “The exceptional team take pride in their work - it almost seems rude to adjust something the staff have created.” 12
- “Loved the ivens. Perfect service, suites are nice and breakfast was something to remember.” 8

- “The brilliant concierge team can tailor authentic experiences - horse riding, vintage motorbikes, food tours, boat rides and more.” 26

- “It wasn't conducive to reading or relaxing, and just didn't feel like it was in keeping with the rest of the property. We found a few times (like turndown which was late for us - 10pm one night) that staff would just appear in the room without us ever hearing a bell or knock on the door.” 13
- “If you are curious to know more, the staff is well-informed, but there is also a smartphone app that gives all the details.” 5
- “The Four Seasons took over management of the hotel in 1998, adding excellence to the overnight experience in the shape of signature Four Seasons amenities, rigorous upkeep, and of course, the kind of meticulous service brand loyalists have come to know and love.” 9
- “Activities are swiftly and efficiently arranged by the hotel's friendly concierge, who we found indispensable during our stay.” 21
- “For example, during the turn-down service, the staff left a branded eyeglass cleaning cloth! Now that is luxury service.” 20
- “Cntrght • 2 taon ang nakalipas We stayed at Palacio Principe Real, it's a boutique hotel, opened about 5 years ago. We stayed at Palacio Principe Real, it's a boutique hotel, opened about 5 years ago. Great little breakfast, quiet place, small bar, great service.” 8
- “I also appreciated how the spa therapists actually read my forms before seeing me, rather than repeating questions in person I'd already answered on the page (an all too frequent occurrence).” 4
- “The service is a dream, as are the common spaces-handwoven tapestries by Portuguese artist José Sobral de Almada Negreiros hang throughout, with ornate furnishings and happy wallpaper in a rich yellow.” 14
- “After a lovely check in with the staff, it was up to the eighth floor to my room with a balcony!” 20
- “Even the reception check in is impressively bling and efficient - before you take the gold elevator to one of the spacious suites, peering down onto rows of trees and the spectacular rooftop running track.” 12
- “Since its opening in 1959, the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz has been a cultural touchstone in Lisbon, known as much for its expansive art collection as for its warm service.” 22
- “I recently got back from Lisbon and stayed at Torel Palace. Loved it! The rooms were amazing, staff incredible, and food delicious (they have a ** on site).” 8

- “And its hilltop location allows for sweeping views of the city, from the neighboring Parque Eduardo VII to the Tagus River.” 22
- “Great accommodation and a great central location.” 13
- “The Four Seasons Ritz sits among the prime real estate at Lisbon's centre and is a short walk from Lisbon's tree-flanked, boutique-laden boulevard, Avenida da Liberdade.” 12
- “Also it's not the most walkable neighborhood. We also like The Ivens. It's not as luxe and the gym is pretty bad but the neighborhood is so great for walking and getting lost.” 8
- “Your room looks so lovely and spacious! What a beautiful in a fabulous location!” 10
- “Walking distance from Lisbon's city centers-Príncipe Real, Bairro Alto-this hotel's strength is its proximity to the park and the relative quiet enjoyed by guests as a result.” 14
- “CArunner310 • 2 taon ang nakalipas We've stayed at the Ritz. We've stayed at the Ritz. It was great. Huge suites, amazing gym, pool and spa. The food was not good. Also it's not the most walkable neighborhood.” 8

- “Bairro Alto Hotel is better imo. And better location. It's boutique tho. Not a chain.” 24
- “The sedate, slightly removed location of the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, acts as a sanctuary - something to be savored if all of this fomenting frenetic activity suddenly feels like it's about to boil over.” 2
- “Alternatively, Iki is far removed from the fuss, serving up the finest sushi in a more low-key location.” 12
- “The exception is Eduardo VII Park, which is three minutes away on foot. However, the Marques de Pombal Metro stop is an eight-minute walk from the hotel, so getting to other parts of the city is easy and fast.” 25
- “alex_travels • 3 taon ang nakalipas It's pretty old and not well maintained. Also imo not in a great area. More in financial district.” 24
- “This property has local culture running through its veins, along with art-deco sensibilities that fuse with an updated Louis XVI style. It's located in the city's most revered address too, overlooking rolling hills and Old Town.” 9
- “Also it's not the most walkable neighborhood. We also like The Ivens. It's not as luxe and the gym is pretty bad but the neighborhood is so great for walking and getting lost. The restaurant is also fantastic.” 8
- “The central location allows you the option of walking into town, if you can drag yourself away from the sleek bar!” 26
- “It's also got a great location, with Lisbon's narrow streets making traffic a problem, the hotel's location near the main Avenida de Liberdade provides easy access for guests around the capital.” 3
- “it's not "chubby" in that it doesn't advertise all it's high end luxury amenities, but it was a great value and a great location.” 8
- “Long considered Lisbon's premier luxury hotel and located in the heart of the city, it provides a glorious bird's-eye view of the city's stunning historic sites - and makes the perfect starting point for exploring its unique architecture.” 18
- “There are few attractions within walking distance, but the Marques de Pombal Metro station is nearby.” 25
- “When it comes to location, it's ideal for being close to the centre of the city, but removed from the hustle and bustle.” 23
- “Thank you ! We've stayed at the Ritz. It was great. Huge suites, amazing gym, pool and spa. The food was not good. Also it's not the most walkable neighborhood.” 8
- “I Stayed at the ivens. Cant recommend enough. Was beautiful hotel and amazing amazing location.” 8

- “Breakfast is a buffet or à la carte feast served in the grand high-ceilinged Varanda Restaurant or sunny terrace.” 26

- “You may roll your eyes at another restaurant promising to take you on a gastronomic journey, but Cura more than delivered on their promise. We chose the thirteen-course Origins menu. Particular standouts were the squid with hazelnut and roasted seaweed butter, as well as the short rib with corn and 'bairrada' sauce.” 21
- “Food is most definitely a highlight. If you're staying during a weekend, don't miss the brunch, which consists of tables and tables of food - fresh seafood, stunning salads and classic Portuguese dishes line the centre tables, while the colourful cakes and chocolates at dessert would be enough to drive Willy Wonka mad.” 1
- “And even locals make a point to spend time dining in the various outlets, which include Varanda for an elegant breakfast buffet or a la carte menu and its executive lunch set menu selection.” 5
- “CURA, with its modern tasting menus - there are two - has a wonderful open kitchen and private entrance.” 12
- “The hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant Cura showcases chef Rodolfo Lavrador's finely tuned tasting menus-think local seafood paired with foraged herbs or unexpected ingredients like ice plant and finger limes in delicious, balanced dishes.” 22
- “A vegetarian (there's a separate plant-based menu), backed up by an equally youthful brigade, his cuisine is contemporary, highly creative, and anchored in a rigorous respect for seasonality and the provenance of ingredients.” 2
- “Taste Portuguese gastronomy at its best at CURA. The fine-dining restaurant serves dishes like fresh sea bass garnished with brassicas, parsley and saffron; squid with hazelnuts, roasted seaweed butter and caviar; and Hokkaido pumpkin, chanterelles, pistachios and Indian cress in a dining room lined with Madeira wood paneling and beveled mirrors.” 15
- “highly recommend culinary backstreets if you like food/culture tours. we stayed at Chiado Arty Flats and liked it a lot -- tons of space, great front desk guy who got us into a great restaurant from someone who had cooked at Michelin *** at the last minute, great breakfast delivered in the morning.” 8
- “However, if you visit on a weekend, Sunday brunch in Varanda is the real must-do. Go (very) hungry for an indulgent spread of seafood, pancakes, pastries and a whole station devoted to chocolate including handmade truffles, delicate individual desserts and a glossy chocolate fountain.” 16
- “The dramatic proportions of the main Varanda restaurant are all very Grand Hotel and an experience in itself.” 2
- “Reservations in the small dining room are in high demand, and the experience is akin to the best Michelin star restaurants. It would not be surprising to eventually see CURA get a star of its own.” 5
- “Meanwhile, the fanciful surroundings at Varanda are unique and beautifully formal (and it's also the breakfast destination).” 12
- “After a day exploring the city, the spa and pool are made for slow, rejuvenating afternoons, and one of Lisbon's best restaurants, CURA, is right on your doorstep.” 23
- “we stayed at Chiado Arty Flats and liked it a lot -- tons of space, great front desk guy who got us into a great restaurant from someone who had cooked at Michelin *** at the last minute, great breakfast delivered in the morning.” 8
- “From cold meats, pastries, cheese, savouries, barbecue food, ice cream and fresh juices, the Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon weekend brunch is a real treat to the senses and the perfect leisurely weekend indulgence.” 10
- “Dining at the two restaurants gets good reviews, and the two bars are popular gathering spots.” 25
- “Evening action, since the hotel's re-opening, is firmly fixed around Cura, an events space, now reconfigured into an ultra-slick, lavish 28-seat dining space with its principal entrance to the street.” 2
- “For more casual meals, Varanda Restaurant offers a bright, elegant setting overlooking the park and is especially great for its lavish weekend brunch.” 22
- “The 10-course Percurso tasting menu is obviously the highlight here, but I was particularly delighted by the non-alcoholic pairing options-savory, delicious juices made exclusively with waste ingredients from the kitchen.” 14
- “The buffet breakfast is superb, whilst these days, afternoons, where deals are done and” 2
- “For something more subtle (but equally stomach-stretching) the tasting menu at Cura restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best in Lisbon. Expect dishes like melt-in-the-mouth squid with hazelnuts, roasted seaweed butter and caviar or a memorable bread dish, which showcases the flavours of Portugal with butter from the Azores, local olive oil and grains grown nearby.” 1
- “Cntrght • 2 taon ang nakalipas We stayed at Palacio Principe Real, it's a boutique hotel, opened about 5 years ago. We stayed at Palacio Principe Real, it's a boutique hotel, opened about 5 years ago. Great little breakfast, quiet place, small bar, great service.” 8

- “I recently got back from Lisbon and stayed at Torel Palace. Loved it! The rooms were amazing, staff incredible, and food delicious (they have a ** on site).” 8
- “For the dinner, I went for the White Truffle Tasting Menu. I did find some very interesting dishes, especially the portobello mushroom amuse-bouche, scallops for the first course, and the sweets at the end that I enjoyed very much!” 20
- “CArunner310 • 2 taon ang nakalipas We've stayed at the Ritz. We've stayed at the Ritz. It was great. Huge suites, amazing gym, pool and spa. The food was not good.” 8
- “Thinking chronologically: guests start the day with breakfast or brunch at the longstanding classic Varanda Restaurant for one of the most startlingly well-appointed buffets I've ever encountered, with sumptuous fruits, cold cuts, pastries (including, of course, a fabulous pastel de nata), and hot options like scrambled eggs and bacon, as well as an a la carte menu.” 14
- “This is a Michelin-starred restaurant that re-writes the meaning of Portuguese fine dining. Chef Pedro Pena Bastos draws from Lisbon's rich regional palette of seasonal ingredients on artisanal dishes of great depth, taste, and meaning.” 9
- “The Varanda restaurant doesn't have a Michelin star, but it feels like it should. Chef Pascal Meynard is French and works with the best fish and meat that Portugal has to offer.” 19
- “Other concepts on the property include Varanda, where breakfast is served (yes, there were pastel de natas-we did not hold back!) The all-day destination has one of the best views of Eduardo VII Park.” 9
- “For food, there was a very extensive breakfast buffet offering multiple cuisines from around the world. Every item I bit into was flawless whether it was the juicy sausage or incredibly flavorful Japanese-style salmon.” 20
- “The brunch is held at the Varanda restaurant, which was also the location of our breakfast buffet, which was also superb, and there is an option to order a cooked breakfast on top of what is already on offer.” 10
- “The element of space cannot be overlooked; the in-room breakfast set-up is mighty - a fine culinary spread, all laid out with fine china and crisp napkins - the omelettes were spot on.” 12

- “The Four Seasons Hotel Ritz is located near the famous Avenida de Liberdade (the most expensive street in Lisbon) and is a really convenient base to get around the city from.” 10
- “I've never been disappointed by any Four Seasons that I've stayed at - they're not cheap by any means (and Lisbon was very expensive) but it was worth the cost for the understated luxury.” 13
