The Lumiares Hotel & Spa

We had the most wonderful stay at this fabulous hotel. Luxurious and beautiful with every detail thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space. Our comfortably sized room had a functional, full kitchen complete with lovely porcelain mugs, plates and cooking utensils, and is decorated with colorful Portuguese textiles. Perfectly located in Bairro Alto, making it very walkable to all of old town. The rooftop restaurant, with breathtaking views, and the luxurious spa added to the charm of the hotel for us. The best part of our stay though was the gracious and accommodating staff. They literally went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed to have a pleasant stay. We have fallen in love with Lisbon and this lovely hotel. We can't wait to stay again!

The Lumiares was absolutely fabulous. Hotel is clean and room was great, staff is superb, and the rooftop is stunning. It’s also is a great location to be out and about in Lisbon. Celebrated a birthday here and they even acknowledged that! Cannot say enough about the hotel staff. Every interaction from check in to check out was above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Lovely hotel and staff. We had a two bedroom apartment on the top floor and the room really was exceptional. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Special note to Beatrix who works in Lumi, the rooftop terrace restaurant. Make a reservation for Lumi as it’s generally busy but well worth it for the food and the view. Located in Barrio Alto it’s on top of a hill so bring comfortable footwear. My wife had a spa treatment and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely hotel in the middle of the Lisbon bustle in the Barrio Alto/Chiado neighborhood. The location is superb - right in the middle of things, but surprisingly quiet. We had a two bedroom apartment for a family of four and the accommodations were excellent. Stylishly and comfortably decorated, really excellent service (unlike many supposedly five star hotels, they provided a full turndown service each night even though we were in and out at random times) and superb breakfast in a fantastic rooftop setting with views across Lisbon harbor (you could almost skip lunch with the breakfast on offer).

Absolutely love the hotel size and location and the hospitality is superb. We stayed at two room suite and got upgraded to the attic which has a small balcony overlooking the neighbourhood view. Since it is a small luxury hotel, the small spa facility and the treatment is nothing extraordinary with the price. Just include breakfast choice if possible cause the view on rooftop LUMI restaurant is stunning and food quality is good too. I do feel a holiday vibe. All staff are vibrant and helpful.

The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and spotless. The staff were all superb. The terrace had amazing views and the breakfast delicious and healthy with a good choice of foods. We were delighted with our stay and would highly recommend the hotel.

The most perfect location for a delicious breakfast - the hotel has a great roof terrace with views across to the castle. The room (one bed suite) was beautifully decorated, had all the facilties needed and we had lots of free goodies in the room from wine to beer to delicious brownies! Fabulous location - highly recommend.

I want to start off by saying the staff, service and my room were amazing! I had the pleasure of staying for 7 nights. I originally booked a studio, but upon arrival, I was told I had been upgraded to the Bairro Alto Mezzanine. This trip was a birthday present to myself so thank you Lumiares for making this an unforgettable stay! I'll definitely be staying here when I come back! Also, it's in a great location if you enjoy the nightlife and want to be surrounded by great restaurants and bars. Since it's located at the top of a hill and there's a lot walking, I would also recommend checking out the amazing massage services at their spa before you leave!

We had a perfect stay @ the Lumiares Hotel in Lisbon. The rooms are spacious and immaculately clean, the staff were attentive and kind, and the location is ideal for getting around the city. They go the extra mile on service by checking in with you via WhatsApp during the stay to ask if there was anything we needed -- which was so nice and helpful! Tips: Hotel staff can arrange airport taxi for you upon arrival, just reach out. They also have free sauna and steam treatments available for hotel guests! Also, breakfast is not included in the core price fyi.

Beautiful, small hotel with wonderful service and a delightful rooftop restaurant and bar. Staff was extremely helpful and quite accommodating. The rooftop bar has delightful views of the city both day and night. The view in the evening of the Bell tower and surrounding neighborhood is fabulous. Staff at the rooftop bar is very helpful yet unobtrusive. The location in the heart of the city is perfect. Many restaurants, nightlife, and shops are located right around the hotel. Rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. Temperature controls were intuitive and easy to use. In short I highly recommend The Lumiares hotel.

This is a spectacular boutique hotel, perfectly located in the Barrio Alta neighborhood. Service is outstanding, our check-in and check-out experience was great, and the Manager called during our visit to ask if there was anything they could do to improve our experience. Our room was a 1-bedroom suite and was perfectly sized and appointed. Everything in the mini-bar was complimentary! While in the noisy Barrio Alta neighborhood, the room was whisper quiet. There is a lovely coffee shop and Neapolitan Pizza restaurant on the ground floor. Room had a Nespresso coffee maker and full kitchenette. Lovely restaurant and with outdoor deck on the roof. Honestly one of the nicest hotel experiences we have ever had, and we have stayed in some great hotels!

This is my second favorite hotel in all the world. My first is the Villa D' Este on Lake Como, Italy, where we honeymooned. This isn't nearly as grand, and instead, this is modern and new, but to measure it against the Villa D' Este says a lot about this hotel! The hotel was formerly a palace, which they've just transformed into a contemporary, yet super comfortable hotel. The staircase is really the only original part remaining, and it's beautiful! The apartment itself doesn't feel palatial, but our 2-bedroom, 2-bath with living room and kitchen is pretty spacious. Have you ever checked out those brand new contemporary condos in the South of Market (SOMA) are in San Francisco? Well, this apartment feels just like those! The apartment itself isn't particularly as large as the Hotel Majestic we just left in Barcelona, but the decor, and the fact that it is only a year old are the real appeals for me. I just absolutely love the contemporary, but cozy decor. Simple, yet very tasteful. Just check out my photo of the SMEG'S! We decided on the 2-bedroom, so that Hubby can conduct his teleconferences at odd times with people from all over the world, without waking me up. For me, this was worth it. Also, as I've mentioned before, in my opinion, having separate bathrooms is pivotal for a happy marriage. The 2-bedroom comes with a living room and kitchen that is stocked with cooking utensils, and everything you'll need, should you care to make breakfast or a full blown dinner. Location is excellent. Just step outside the hotel, and there are restaurants and shops all over. I really like this part of Lisbon. If you go down the hill, you'll come across more touristy type of places. FYI - it only took about 15 minutes to walk to the Time Out Market. If you go up the hill, there are nicer upscale boutiques. A great combination of the two. We didn't even need to take the tram up the hill, and just walked it to and from. However, if you have mobility issues, walking to and from this area on the cobblestones might be very challenging. Because the hotel is located in the Bairro Alto, an area where there are many restaurants and bars, it can get a little noisy outside. It's about 2am now, and I can hear some noise, although our room is up high and the double paned windows help to muffle most of the noise. Had we been on a lower floor, though, I might be a little concerned. A slight downside is the spa/gym. The gym is open 24 hours, and the spa portion is only open until 9pm. However, when I went to use the spa, which was small, I had to go up and down the hall looking for someone. Also, the steam room never really got hot. I have a steam shower at home, and it gets steamier than what I experienced. All first-world problems. I get it, but frustrating nonetheless. What we really love is the spaciousness and homey feel this apartment provides. I'm sitting in the kitchen now, which by the way, has great lighting, as does the entire apartment, typing this review and feeling like I'm at home. Actually, I think I prefer this over our places! I'd return here in a heartbeat if I came back to Lisbon! No doubt!!

Our stay at the Lumiares was perfect! Every detail of the experience at the hotel is intentionally curated. Our apartment was beautiful, and came with nice touches such as your own coffee machine/pods and a fridge stocked with wine and beer from the region. There is also an excellent rooftop restaurant, and upon check-in we received a voucher for a bottle of white wine! It was excellent, and we enjoyed it with our lunch as we looked out over the city. The spa and other amenities are also fantastic. And every single member of the hotel staff we interacted with was extremely helpful. When we arrived at the hotel prior to check-in, they allowed us to leave our luggage while we went for a walk.

The apartment worked great for our 1 week stay. The kitchen was fully equipped. Convenient to everything we wanted to do (3 of the tours we took happened to meet outside of the Hard Rock, which was only a 5 minute walk). The staff was excellent, very attentive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Didn't let me get a refund let alone a simple hotel credit after I had to cancel 8 days before my travel date (which was plenty of time) due to a personal emergency and work trip. The lack of both understanding and accommodating by this hotel was enough for me to write a yelp review...which I rarely do. You definitely managed to let me down Lumiares.

We picked this boutique hotel for our stay in Lisbon because it seemed to be centrally located. It's in the Bairro Alto section of Lisbon. Our tour guide called this the "hipster part of town" and it did remind us of the "hipster" areas of NYC. Hotel and staff was excellent. We stayed in one of the penthouse suites which did offer some views but the views from the rooftop restaurant is much better. Our suite was very spacious and very clean. They stocked the fridge with complementary beverages which was a nice touch. Breakfast that was included with our stay was great and offered a lot of variety. Most of all, Goncalo and the rest of the staff at the desk and the rooftop restaurant made our stay extra special. We are currently staying at the W Barcelona for our last leg of our Spain/Portugal trip and our family is still talking about our stay at the Lumiares.

My son booked a room here and tried to cancel eight days before arrival and was told no refund. While the cancellation policy does state, "No refund for cancellations," it does not state that funds can't be used toward a future trip. Expedia called on our behalf and spoke to Thomas at the front desk who was unyielding in offering any sort of compromise or gift card or even invitation to come to the hotel at a later date. At roughly $600/night it's not like we were bargain shopping. I guess we learned our lesson that it pays to book with hotels that really care about satisfying customers. If you can't make customers happy before they arrive what does it say about what might happen after you arrive?
