“This stylish boutique hotel is located in the heart of Lisbon's city centre in Santo Antonio. The spacious guestrooms are bright, airy and contemporary with bespoke furniture; book a spa suite for a private hot tub. Dine at the restaurant before drinks at the hotel's chic urban bar; a charming stay.”

Hotel review

Tucked just off Avenida da Liberdade in the very heart of Lisbon, you can expect contemporary flair to match this hotel’s ambitions. Approachable yet considered, it balances business-ready functionality with warm Portuguese hospitality.

Feng Shui principles guide an unexpected but welcome philosophical stance that manifests in thoughtful lighting, harmonious colour palettes, and judicious use of natural materials. The minimalist design is punctuated by splashes of purple and green, while integrated technology keeps you connected without being intrusive. Those seeking additional indulgence should opt for a room with a jacuzzi – a worthy upgrade after days spent tackling Lisbon’s seven hills.

Location is a significant advantage, with both Marques de Pombal and Avenida metro stops within easy reach. The truly remarkable feature, however, is the parking – a genuine rarity in Lisbon's congested centre that’ll elevate this property for drivers navigating the city's notoriously challenging streets.

This is not Lisbon's most characterful lodging – far from it – but in a historic city whose cobbled labyrinth can overwhelm, Inspira's efficient location and tranquility become unexpectedly precious.
