Lapa Palace has been placed among the best hotels in the world; this is not solely due to its prestigious location, or the splendour of its grounds, the luxury of the accommodation or its excellent facilities, the unrelenting attention to detail or superlative service. At the Lapa Palace all of these factors combine harmoniously for an unforgettable stay.

The restaurants and bars of the Olissippo Lapa Palace are institutions among Lisbon’s cognoscenti. The Lapa Restaurant offers the highest quality Mediterranean cuisine, with distinct Italian flair. The ambiance is elegant and the spacious dining room is filled with light.

Weather permitting, the terrace makes the experience even more spectacular, especially at night, with the twinkling lights of the castle on the opposite hill and the boats on the dark river. The restaurant is open for lunch from 12:30 to 15:00 and for dinner from 19:30 to 22:30.

The Rio Tejo Bar is a firm favourite for lighter fare or an informal drink. This is one of Lisbon’s most beautiful and exclusive retreats, with an intimate terrace overlooking the Tagus River. 

For afternoon tea there is a choice of more than 40 different teas and from 19:00 there is live piano music every evening apart from Sunday. It is open from 10:30 to 01:00.

During the summer months the Pavillon Restaurant is open at the outdoor swimming pool from 10:30 until the end of the afternoon. From here fresh fruit juices, cocktails and home made iced teas are served, together with light fare, such as sandwiches, salads and seafood.

Guestrooms

The Olissippo Lapa Palace has three sections. The original Palace, built in 1870, was completely renovated in 2003, with craftsmen recreating by hand furniture in the 18th century styles of the Portuguese monarchs João V, José and Maria I.

The Garden and Villa wings continue this classic Portuguese theme and here the sumptuous decor is informed by a more modern sensibility. In the Garden wing you’ll find spacious rooms on the first to the third floors facing the garden and the swimming pool; on the fourth to the sixth floors the rooms have views of the pool, garden, river and the city. For larger parties these rooms can interconnect.

All these rooms are spacious and have balconies to enjoy the charming views. Their large, opulent marble bathrooms are well equipped and have double basins. And you’ll find all the modern amenities. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable whatever the weather, and all the rooms have internet access and safes. The 24 hour room service is also spectacular, including even caviar and blinis. Just another example of the inimitable style of the Lapa Palace.
