Urbano FLH Hotels Lisboa
The Urbano FLH Hotels Lisboa is located in the center of Lisbon between the historic old town of Alfama and the tourist center of Baixa. The Tejo River is just a few minutes’ walk away – it doesn’t get any better than this!
The hotel was designed by Portuguese artist David Rosado. That’s why you’ll find unusual, brightly colored works of art in pop art style throughout the hotel. They go perfectly with the bright, gray and white furnishings of the boutique hotel.
The rooms are not only cool, but also super cozy – you’ll feel right at home. Incidentally, you get all this at an unbeatable price-performance ratio and a delicious breakfast is also included.
Esqina Cosmopolitan Lodge
The Esqina Cosmopolitan Lodge is located on the edge of the historic Alfama district on a small hill. From here, you can quickly walk to the most important sights in Lisbon and the rooms are still totally quiet – we love it!
But we love the great views from the boutique hotel even more. You have a great view over Lisbon from many of the rooms and there is also a terrace – where you can treat yourself to a cocktail at the bar in the evening.
Another plus point is the great staff, who are always on hand to give you great insider tips for Lisbon. Breakfast in the light-flooded inner courtyard is also great. The rooms are functional and simply furnished by local designers.
And to top it all off, the Design Hotel is close to a metro station and there is a supermarket just around the corner.

Boutique Hotels in Lisbon with a View
Lisbon is clearly a city of beautiful views. That’s why it’s worth booking a hotel with a roof terrace and beautiful views.
The Felix 10
The beautiful boutique hotel The Felix 10 is located in the Lapa district – a quiet area away from the tourist hustle and bustle. You can be in the middle of it all in just a few minutes on foot or by streetcar.
We ourselves stayed at the Felix 10 during our trip to Lisbon and felt more than just comfortable! We have rarely experienced so much hospitality as in this boutique hotel.
You can tell that it is a small, owner-managed hotel in Lisbon. The wonderful owners are always there for their guests and fulfill all their wishes.
The hotel only has 10 rooms, which are lovingly furnished with cool details. The beds are really comfortable – there are even several pillows to choose from.
The two family rooms are also really nice, making The Felix 10 a great boutique hotel if you are with children in Lisbon.
Another highlight is the roof terrace, from which you have a fantastic view over Lisbon. It’s a wonderful place to end the day with a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
The Lumiares Hotel & Spa
The Lumiares Hotel & Spa is a luxury boutique hotel in the center of Lisbon. So you’ll have to dig a little deeper into your pockets here. But it’s worth it just for the beautiful roof terrace with a view of Lisbon’s old town.
The hotel is located right next to the famous viewpoint in Lisbon, São Pedro de Alcântara. You have a similar, fantastic view from the hotel’s rooftop bar.
The rooms at Lumiares are super stylishly furnished and offer plenty of space – most even have their own kitchenette with dining area. This is particularly great if you’re in Lisbon with the whole family.
A delicious breakfast is included, and the hotel also has its own restaurant. The icing on the cake is the wellness & spa area, which is included in the price.
