I had a conference I was attending in Barcelona, and thought it would be nice to visit Lisbon for a night. After doing research on where I wanted to stay, I came across this hotel. It was in the location I wanted, and the price was really nice. I dropped a quick note in the comments sections of the reservation that I would love a nice view of the city.
When I got to the hotel, they checked me into room 24. When I walked in the room, there was a shade across the large window. When I opened it, I could hardly believe my eyes. It was a 180 degree view of Lisbon, with the 25th of April bridge on one side, and the river in front, the Castle of St George to my near left, and several historic churches on my far left.
I have stayed in probably 2000 hotels worldwide, and by far, this was the best view I have ever had in my entire life. It was amazing, and I would have paid double my rate, just for this view. The window even opened, allowing for an even greater vista.
The hotel was nice, the staff very friendly, and the location was great, but the view is what you should book this hotel for.
All pictures were taken from my hotel room.
