Pestana Palace Lisboa Hotel National Monument - Lisbon.

With a character and charm to reflect its distinguished history – Pestana Palace Lisboa is a member of the ‘Leading Hotels of the World’ and is listed as a Portuguese National Landmark. It prides itself on offering a personal and attentive service, where nothing is too much trouble, and its unsurpassed, fine dining will leave a lasting impression.

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood known as Alto Santo Amaro. It is around a mile from Belém, which is home to some of the most significant historical treasures in Lisbon including Jerónimos Monastery, Tower of Belém and the symbolic Monument of the Discoveries. Take a leisurely stroll down to the ‘Docas’, with its early-20th-century warehouses forming a cluster of al fresco restaurants and bars.

Each of the 194 rooms and suites are richly furnished in a French style to complement this 19th century palace. Despite its age, the hotel’s focus is firmly forward thinking, with 49-inch TVs, Android cast and USB charge. The views across the extensive palace gardens or the Tagus River are a constant feature too.
