The Lumiares Hotel & Spa

Lisbon, Portugal

A beautifully restored 18th-century palace in the heart of bohemian Bairro Alto

At a glance

Set in the cobblestoned heart of Bairro Alto, one of Lisbon's most characterful and storied neighbourhoods, The Lumiares is a five-star boutique hotel and spa housed within a beautifully restored 18th-century palace. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and winner of Portugal's Leading Boutique Hotel 2025, it is a place of genuine warmth, considered design and deep local identity.

The hotel's 47 apartment-style suites are a love letter to Portugal: all high ceilings, natural light and interiors crafted in collaboration with local Portuguese artists, makers and brands. Each suite includes a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas and a feeling of genuine home, making The Lumiares particularly well suited to families who want to live in the city rather than simply visit it.

Above it all, the Lumi Rooftop offers fresh Portuguese flavours, handcrafted cocktails and sweeping views across Lisbon's terracotta rooftops and the River Tagus beyond. Lisbon's greatest neighbourhoods, cultural landmarks and family-friendly experiences sit directly on the doorstep.
