Pestana Palace Hotel - Lisbon, Portugal 

"Totally splendid"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We stayed at the Pestana for 3 nights after spending 10 days in the Algarve. We got a deal through expedia and paid about £95 a night for a double room including breakfast. This was an absolute bargain. The hotel is beautiful - the public rooms in the former palace part of the hotel are amazing, the service is impeccable and the gardens and pool are perfect. I am astounded by the complaints of one poster that the hotel was dirty and smelt of food - our experience was blissful - so much so that we barely left the hotel during our 3 days in Lisbon. I hope that we will get the chance to go back to this hotel again as coming home to a lack of rose petals in the toilet bowl, cold eucalyptus scented flannels to mop my brow or chocs on the pillow at night has left me pining.

This hotel is an actual palace that is now a hotel with rooms added on to it very nicely on the grounds. The grounds within the palace walls are beautifully kept. The actual area around the hotel was a little bit "off" with graffiti in some places. They had shuttle buses that would take you to tourist areas and drop you off and you could come back by taxi. The service and staff were excellent. Everyone spoke excellent English and were very helpful. The hotel is smart in providing breakfast because there are no nearby places to eat. Overall, a great place. We bypassed one of our days of sightseeing to enjoy this beautiful hotel.
