Solar dos Mouros

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Blink and you’ll miss this boutique pad near Castelo de São Jorge. Its art-slung interior reveals a passion for Africa and primary colours. Affording castle views or more panoramic vistas over the river, the 11 rooms bear the imprint of artist Luís Lemos and some offer freshly renovated pink marble bathrooms.

Also added in 2018 were a bright new lobby, a restaurant and a bar to go with the already fantastic outdoor terrace. Prices have begun creeping beyond good value, however.
