Hotel Lisboa Plaza is a calm, characterful hotel that shares a family with Hotel Britania: identifies it as part of the Lisbon Heritage Collection. It is on Travessa do Salitre, a small street just off the Avenida da Liberdade, and the booking page says the Avenida metro station is a two-minute walk away. The style is midcentury modern, with classic marble floors and soft pastel fabrics, and the mood is intimate and informal rather than grand. There are 112 rooms in a single six-floor building. The booking page describes a fifth-floor rooftop terrace with views over Lisbon, an honesty bar, a private library with a fireplace and a complimentary tea and coffee lounge, plus a small fitness centre, Cafe Plaza for coffee and meals, 24-hour front desk, room service and concierge, and an electric car charging station. A buffet breakfast is available for a fee, and self parking has limited spaces. Each room is described as including a complimentary decanter of Portuguese port wine, a charming detail. Pets are allowed, with a limit of two. The booking page gives the class as 4.0. It is a good fit for couples, solo travellers and anyone who wants a central, comfortable base without a luxury price, and the quiet street makes it feel set apart from the boulevard's bustle.
The location is excellent for a first visit. The Avenida da Liberdade begins at the door, with the metro two minutes away, and the Baixa, Rossio and Restauradores are a walk downhill. The Príncipe Real and the Bairro Alto are a short climb uphill. Dozens of restaurants are nearby, from neighbourhood places to formal dining rooms on the boulevard.
Living in it
The hotel is quiet, the rooms are comfortable and the public spaces are made for relaxing, from the library to the rooftop. The honesty bar is a pleasant touch for an evening drink. Breakfast is not included in every rate, so check, and note that the booking page says only cards are accepted at the property. City tax is charged per person per night, with children under 13 exempt, according to the booking page.
Base math
Lisboa Plaza sits in the middle of the market, usually well below the big luxury hotels, and offers excellent value for its location and style. It suits couples, solo travellers and families with older children who do not need a pool. If a pool, a spa or a full restaurant is essential, look at the larger hotels on the Avenida; if you want a pretty, quiet base with character, this is a smart choice.
