Boutique hotels are small, stylish, and unique. They have grown in popularity in major cities like Paris and London, but are slowly spreading all over the world. Now, even the largest international hotel chains are investing in this venture so that they don’t miss out on this trend. This kind of accommodation isn’t necessarily expensive, although the title ‘boutique’ usually comes attached to that thought. It can be quite affordable and have upscale quality and a great location. Lisbon, like every other European capital, apart from having many rooftop restaurants and cocktail bars, is also home to many small boutique hotels and budget boutique hotels with great designs and original themes. If you have never stayed at one of these cool hotels in Lisbon, you should try one. We’ve selected the 17 best boutique hotels in Lisbon and we hope that after you read this article you feel encouraged to give them a try. Ready for an amazing stay?

Tip from tour guide
Gare do Oriente train station can be reached via a 15-minute drive from this hotel. Designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the mastermind behind the Reggio Emilia train station, it opened its doors in 1998 to welcome millions of people attending the World Expo in Lisbon.
