The property is exceptional in many ways - tea services, wine & cheese services, private sitting rooms & gardens, exceptional breakfast service, roman bath & spa among many! The room we stayed in (2nd Floor, Room 4) may have had a mold issue (crumbling paint above the bed and bath area). We woke with sore throats and coughing - possibly attributed to lack of filter changes or mold.

The hotel is an old palace that belonged to a rich Portuguese family which traded in spices. It breathes history through every wall, carpet, window, fixture….a lovely place if you are a History lover or if you simply want to walk and dine in Lisbon. Highly recommended!

This truly is a gem in Lisbon! From the moment you walk into the Palacio, the staff was so friendly and helpful which sets the tone! Our room was just as pictured and a beautiful bathroom with a garden view. We enjoyed complimentary wine and cheeses in the garden in the afternoon. The breakfast was the best of our 2 week travels in Europe- each room had specially foods while the pianist played music. Highly recommend this 4 ⭐️ which is in my opinion a 5 ⭐️ because of it’s service and ambiance!

Beautiful hotel, centrally located -between Bairro Alto and Chiado. Lovely amenities, nice decor, enjoyed the breakfast, the room was reasonably soundproofed and the staff was very friendly. If you can make the time, reserve a table for their Fado dinner show.

This hotel offered a very unique experience - a refurbished palace from 1800!! how fabulous. there were welcome/anytime drinks at the bar with custard tarts, wine tasting with a great outside lounge area, intimate spa facilities and a great breakfast with hot and cold selections including a great selection of fresh baked pastries. the staff were soooo friendly and helpful. The ONLY negative to be aware of is if you get a room facing the street it may prove to be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper.

The Palace was exceptionally beautiful. Every corner of this hotel had elegant charm and the staff was so welcoming and super nice.
