Lisbon is one of the friendliest, most charming and unspoilt capital cities in Europe. Once the capital of a vast sea-faring empire, influences from around the world can still be found in the city’s unique architecture, excellent museums and delicious restaurants. Whitewashed houses stretch down to the sparkling River Tagus, watched over by the magnificent Castelo de São Jorge and tree-lined boulevards connect with steep winding cobbled streets. The weather is among Europe’s finest; even in winter it can be very warm and sunny, and eating out is a treat with delicious fish and seafood at absurdly low prices. With Portugal’s compact area and efficient highspeed rail, why not combine your stay in Lisbon with a few days in Oporto or Cascais?

This famous hotel, built in 1959, is under Four Seasons management. Situated on one of Lisbon’s seven hills, it enjoys spectacular views over Eduardo VII Park, St. George’s Castle and the old town. The hotel has spacious and extremely elegant public rooms with paintings, tapestries and sculptures.
This delightful property is the only hotel situated within the walls of the Castle of St. George (there are steep hills in this area). Formerly an 18th century mansion, it was built on the site of the former Alcacova Palace kitchens and there is still some evidence of its mediaeval past.
This is our most popular hotel – and with good reason. The service is really exceptional; nothing is too much trouble for the management and staff, who have been looking after Kirker clients now for many years.

One of the most anticipated hotel openings of 2019 was the reappearance of

ochre building on one of the city’s prettiest squares in the eponymous quarter,
now one of the most sought after addresses in the city.
Located near the Museum of Modern Art, just 10 minutes by taxi from the centre, this old aristocratic townhouse was once home to the famous Portuguese writer Eca de Queiros and has been converted into a charming private hotel with 29 well equipped rooms.
