Lisbon is a city made for views. That’s why a hotel with a rooftop terrace is always a good idea.

The charming The Felix 10 is in the Lapa district, a quiet spot away from the crowds. In just a few minutes, you can reach the city center on foot or by tram.

We stayed at The Felix 10 during our Lisbon trip and felt completely at home. The level of hospitality is exceptional.

It’s clearly a small, owner-run hotel. The owners are always on hand and make sure every guest is happy.

With only 10 rooms, all decorated with care and cool details, the beds are super comfortable – and there are plenty of pillow options.

The two family rooms are a real treat, making this a great choice if you’re traveling with children.

The rooftop terrace is a highlight, offering fantastic views over Lisbon and a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset.
