Sublime Lisboa

Rooms

All 15 rooms and suites are uniquely decorated in a style led by the colourway of their striking geometric wallpaper. Rooms have generous private bathrooms with rainshowers and delicious-smelling (sustainable) own-brand amenities designed with Olioflora; some have baths.

The three first-floor Pateo rooms have their own private inner courtyard. Lisboa rooms, on the ground and first floors, have views of a typical street in Lisbon’s elegant Amoreiras neighbourhood. Two have private balconies.

The fabulous Lisboa Suites, on the ground and second floors, include an elegant sitting area. Velvet sofas, retro influences, and contemporary details create a ‘sublime’ boudoir. We stayed in Room 2, which has an in-room bathtub and jazzy blue carpet; our complimentary welcome treats (pasteis de nata tarts and sour cherry liqueur) were waiting in our living area.

Crowning the hotel are the spectacular Sublime Suites. Each has a living room, full bathroom and private outdoor balcony (first floor) or roof terrace (second floor). We loved the high ceilings and original mouldings of Sublime Suite 7 on the first floor, and the romantic attic-luxe feel of the two units on the second floor, with their exposed beams and terrace overlooking Lisbon’s rooftops.

Features include:

• Bathrobes
• Hairdryer
• Minibar
• Safe box
• WiFi

Eating

On-site restaurant Davvero serves mouth-watering Italian food with a sprinkling of Portuguese and other Mediterranean influences. The focus is on fresh, quality ingredients and deep flavours. The restaurant itself is beautiful: deep blues and teals offset soft gold and copper accents, velvet channel tufted banquettes, leather and Missoni-inspired fabric bar stools. A reed-panelled ceiling and mirrored back walls make the space feel cosy and elegant. Every detail – both design and food – has been meticulously considered.

Pastries and breads are made in-house daily for the breakfast service, which is charmingly presented on an afternoon tea-style cake stand. The lunch and dinner menu is rich in elevated Italian classics, complemented by Portuguese and Italian wines – and French bubbles. We loved the Risi and Bisi starter (pea and mint mozzarella croquettes) and a classic Parmigiana di Melanzane main, finishing with a beautifully plated lemon pie. Guests can also enjoy classic aperitivo cocktails and snacks on the outdoor terrace or at the opulent bar.

Lisbon’s food scene is exciting and varied; from the Time Out market to Michelin-starred restaurants, foodies will be in heaven. Don’t miss having a meal or a sunset cocktail at a rooftop restaurant.

Activities

• We always advise that Lisbon is best explored on foot. From Sublime Lisboa, stroll down Avenida da Liberdade, admiring its intricately patterned calçada (cobblestone) pavements, stopping for a pasteis de nata (custard tart), or shopping at the designer stores that line the boulevard. The avenue ends at the spectacular Rossio station, from where all the main sights are in easy reach
  
• Must-sees in Lisbon are the Santa Justa Elevator, the beautiful Praça do Comércio and Rua Augusta arch down by the Tagus river, the charming Alfama district, and at least one of the city's scenic miradouros (viewpoints)
  
• Heading north-west from the hotel, the impressive Museu Calouste Gulbenkian is a 20-minute walk through Parque Eduardo VII
  
• Staff can arrange guest access to the nearby Clube VII gym (including a pool, padel and Crossfit facilities) and the Epic Sana spa, practically across the road. Guests staying in Sublime Suites can book yoga and massages on their private terraces
  
• The recommended activities on your 'please make up the room' door tag include visiting the iconic Jerónimos Monastery (tip: book online and get there when it opens to enjoy its serenity before the tour groups arrive) or having coffee at a kiosk (there's a kiosk in just about every park in Lisbon, the perfect place for a people-watching pitstop)

Activities on site or nearby include:

• Historical sites
• Museums / galleries
• Nightlife
• Private guided tours
• Shopping / markets

Location

Sublime Lisboa in the quieter, less touristy but still central Amoreiras neighbourhood of Lisbon; the expansive Parque Eduardo VII is just two blocks away, and it's a 10-min walk from the Marques de Pombal circle, from where Avenida da Liberade runs to the downtown area (you can walk it in 15 min).

By Air:
Fly to Lisbon Portela Airport, from here it's a quick 15-minute taxi ride.

Getting Around:
We recommend using cabs or ride-sharing services rather than hiring a car as parking in central Lisbon is scarce. If you want to hire a car for onward journeys in Portugal see here.

By Train:
Sete Rios railway station is 10 minutes away. The Marques metro station is close by.
