The Lumiares Hotel & Spa - Small Luxury Hotels Of The World

This was my first stay at The Lumiares, but it won't be my last. The hotel is lovely, and the rooftop restaurant - Lumi - has absolutely amazing food, both at breakfast (we had breakfast included in our room rate) and at all other times during the day. Their signature cocktail for the month of October - the Pink October - was outstanding, and the views from the restaurant roof deck were fabulous. The location couldn't be better. The funicular to take you up/down the hill to Av. Liberdade and the Rossio train station is literally across the street from the hotel. There are multiple Michelin-recommended restaurants within a 3 block radius, and the Lisbon Botanical Garden is an easy 20 minute walk away. The main park in Barrio Alto is also right across the street, and offers beautiful views of the city. I was traveling with 2 other friends so we booked the 2 bedroom apartment (each bedroom had its own bath). The beds were comfortable and we were amazed that even though we were in the midst of a lively neighborhood (Barrio Alto) and were there on a party night (Halloween!) - the heavy wooden shutters in our room that blocked the windows kept the room completely quiet. We heard nothing from the street outside. The apartment had a kitchenette with everything we could possibly ask for - dishes, glasses, silverware, a dishwasher, a mini fridge, a cooktop, pans - we could have easily cooked for ourselves, if we had wanted to. But truly the best part of our experience there was the people. The hotel staff - from the front desk clerks to the housekeeping staff to everyone working at Lumi - were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to ensure that we were happy and enjoying our stay. It was a level of customer service I haven't experienced in a long time, and we really appreciated it. This is a special place.

Lumiares is a wonderful hotel on the edge of the charming, central Bairro Alto district of Lisbon. Over the road is the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara terrace overlooking all of the city. Walk 10 minutes down the hill and you're in the heart of the city and down to the river. The hotel's position makes you feel like you are central, but inside the rooms it's relatively quiet and secluded. The staff in the hotel were exceptional, including finding my daughter's special locket that had disappeared by dismantling the sink to find it in the drain! We stayed in a two bedroom apartment which felt like a great Air BnB but with the infrastructure of a good hotel. We used the small but smart gym, and my family had a couple of nice spa treatments. The terrace roof restaurant has a spectacular view. Room service is super prompt. All round, a great hotel I would stay in again, at an incredibly reasonable room rate for this kind of hotel.

The room and the staff were wonderful. Location was great. Breakfast was really nice as well as rooftop restaurant.

We loved the well-equipped studio with all amenities like a kitchen, big fridge, living room area, two tv screens, and so on. Very roomy! The complimentary drinks were a nice touch too and the lovely turn-down service. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to support you. We also had very relaxing massages. For my boyfriend’s birthday they were so kind to bring a piece of chocolate cake to our room, very sweet! The location is perfect and you can reach lots of bars, restaurants and sights without any issues.

This is my favorite place to stay at in Lisbon. The location is fantastic, super clean luxurious rooms - bright and spacious with a great breakfast - everything is so walkable - it's a 1 min walk to a beautiful viewpoint of the city, so many great shops, restaurants and sights just minutes away. The rooms are so comfortable and the service is beyond - literally above and beyond. Despite being in Barrio alto - the soundproofing in the rooms is fantastic! This was my second stay here and I would not stay anywhere else.
