The best hotels in Lisbon with a rooftop terrace

Lumiares

Lisbon's hillside position, its beautiful coloured houses with red-tiled roofs and, of course, its ocean views make choosing a hotel from which to enjoy these vistas a bit of a no-brainer. For those in search of a front-line view of the sea, picking a location such as Bairro Alto or Alfama is a good choice. Alternatively, Avenida da Liberdade's higher position allows for views of the whole city as well as easy access to the shops and sights. Our collection of the best hotels in Lisbon with a rooftop terrace include charming traditional properties or cool contemporary stays complete with a terrace pool or bar.
