“Elegant palace above Lisbon's rooftops”

Olissippo Lapa Palace – The Leading Hotels of the World is an elegant, art-filled palace on beautiful grounds with amazing views — spacious-for-Europe rooms with balconies, a rich breakfast, a superb fourth-floor restaurant serving foie gras and black pork, and a pool bar where sunsets pair with live piano. It sits about fifteen minutes' drive from the center, with Japanese and Portuguese restaurants nearby. One returning guest — for whom it was a world favorite — reported an unpleasant checkout, stopped at the car for a city-tax charge after being told all was settled; they hoped it was an individual lapse.
