Place is very beautiful room which we had too,service very good,beautiful views,but not every taxi driver knows road to it,it's hidden inside city and as somebody previously says u must ring to the gates and wait till somebody will wake up in the mid of the night to open the door for you.

This place is so much more than a hotel. We never wanted to leave and still miss the people and the beautiful rooms. The owners are warm, brilliant people with impeccable taste and a love of history, art, and architecture that touches every aspect of the experience from the worn stone steps and restored azulejo murals to the unique personal touches in each room. The staff reflects the owners' warmth and attention to detail. We loved it so much, we came back early from the Algarve, just so we could have a few more nights to soak up the place. To wake up to breakfast on the terrace in the palace on top of the hill that overlooks all of Lisbon....living like royalty! This hotel alone will bring us back for another visit to Lisbon.

In the heart of Lisbon, a few steps away from the Castelo S. Jorge, the Palacio Belmonte is Lisbon´s oldest palace. You almost dont notice it as you walk up the cobbled street up to the large wooden red door. Beautifully restored by the hand of its present owners, with meaningful and quirky pieces of art scattered all over the suites and the differerent rooms of the palace, it´s almost like sleeping in a private museum. The suites are very spacious and all unique, with arty features and plenty of books and music, although there are no mod-cons such as TVs or DVDs but the bathrooms are definitely modern and just as spacious. The views of Lisbon and the Tagus river from the various windows and terraces are breathtaking. You dont expect to find a garden with huge orange trees and a pool here and although it was January when I stayed there, I just wanted to sit there and read a book in the afternoon sun overlooking the city...A place for total romance or to just get away from it all and reconnect with the luxury of lost time.

Spent the last two nights at the Palacio Belmonte - hated to leave. Loved the scale of the hotel, Our room/suite (#5) was on four different floors. Kitchen on the lower level, drawing room and bath on the second level, bedroom on the third and a terrace with the most magnificent view of Lisbon and the river on the fourth. Don't miss this hotel I have stayed in them all from Calridges, to the Ritz to the Aman hotels and Palacio Belmonte tops them all!
