The outlook hotel of Lisbon at a sensible price. Pay for the view room and skip the rest. Contemporary, fairly priced and built around one asset: a terrace with a small pool and the castle-and-rooftop view laid out in front of it. The hotel is a base with a good evening attached, not a resort.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
The romantic booking in Lisbon. Take the river side, book the rooftop for sunset and let the palace do the rest. A real palace with 18 rooms and a rooftop pool and bar straight over the river, beside the sunset viewpoint the whole city uses. The hotel is the occasion here, and the river side is the hotel.
