Description
Formerly the home of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Pousada of Lisbon is ideally located for exploring this fantastic city. It is situated in one of the most famous squares in Lisbon, the Praca do Comercio, which was particularly important during Portugal’s famous era of ‘discoveries’ as it was the home of many government departments which stood opposite the disembarkation point for Portuguese ships, filled with riches from the East and the Americas.
This square opens up to the Tejo River on one side and to the most historic parts of the city on the other three sides. From here the centuries old winding streets lead up to the Castle of St Jorge and beautiful Rossio Square.
The Pousada sits in a magnificent stately building and overlooks the Tejo River. It has been beautifully restored and is now transformed into a luxurious hotel with many of the building’s traditional features incorporated into the decor. It has 90 rooms, many overlooking the Tejo River, and offers excellent facilities, including a spa, swimming pool and fitness centre. The two bars and restaurant, with views over the square, provide the ideal location to relax and unwind in one of Europe´s oldest capital cities. The inner courtyard with a removable dome is another feature of this beautiful hotel.
The Pousada’s location, facilities and excellent restaurant also make it an ideal venue for conferences and meetings.
The Pousada hotel of Lisbon was invited to join the exclusive ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World‘ Group in January 2015 in recognition of its unique location, luxury accommodation and excellent customer service.

The Pousada is located within walking distance to the river and the ‘sometimes crowded’ Rua Augusta. We enjoyed our time in Lisbon and our stay at the Pousada was one of the highlights. Friendly staff, superb breakfast, excellent facilities were highly appreciated.
