Palacio das Especiarias is delightful
Delightful boutique hotel. The decor harkens back to the early 1900's. Breakfast was excellent. Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. You might want to make a reservation for the dinner with Fado performances.

We loved staying here! The hotel is beautiful and they have a lot of different things to do. We stayed our last night in Lisbon as a place to relax and we wouldn’t have stayed anywhere else. The breakfast included was delicious and highly recommend going to the spa and attending the the Fado show

The hotel is an old palace that belonged to a rich Portuguese family which traded in spices. It breathes history through every wall, carpet, window, fixture….a lovely place if you are a History lover or if you simply want to walk and dine in Lisbon. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel, centrally located -between Bairro Alto and Chiado. Lovely amenities, nice decor, enjoyed the breakfast, the room was reasonably soundproofed and the staff was very friendly. If you can make the time, reserve a table for their Fado dinner show.

The Palace was exceptionally beautiful. Every corner of this hotel had elegant charm and the staff was so welcoming and super nice. Both ladies at the spa were amazing especially Johaira, our waitor Clever at the Fado restaurant was so friendly and Victoria at the front desk was just absolutely sweet.

An Exquisite Boutique Hotel
What a "gem" of a hotel. The moment we entered we knew we should have stayed earlier in our trip. We were offered a quiet room for team, various cold beverages, just to relax. My wife needed a converter to charge her cellphone and the staff quickly offered her one for use in the lobby. The rooms were large and very comfortable. There is a "help yourself to wine" in the basement, allowing you to step outside into a beautiful garden to sit at a fairly private table, or in a room or to take upstairs. Everything is done in a manner to make you feel at home!

Amazing room. Hand-painted walls with high ceiling. Small and a bit quirky but with a charm not found in the U.S. Lot’s of extras with the room (wine tasting in the afternoon and amazing breakfast. Very knowledgeable and friendly personnel.
