DARK SECRETS: The lumiares lisbon hotel review | Rare Historical Photos

A renovated 18th-century palace with apartment-style rooms and a prime location in Bairro Alto, plus a rooftop bar and restaurant boasting panoramic views

Location

Sitting atop one of Lisbon’s many hills in the buzzy Barrio Alto district, some of the city’s best sights are within easy walking distance. The cobbled streets around the hotel are some of the liveliest in the city, where bars and restaurants line the curbs and revellers soak up the last of the sun well into the evening. One of Lisbon’s famous viewpoints, the Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara, is a three-minute stroll with its terrace offering sweeping views across the city – grab a drink from the bar and watch the world go by. After you’ve taken in the vista, the charming nearby botanical garden is equally worth a visit.
