Torel Palace
Torel Palace is a true oasis to be discovered right in the heart of Lisbon.

The romance allure is also everywhere in the surrounding gardens and the beautiful pool.
Olissippo Castelo
Overlooking the castle walls and the Baixa (Lisbon’s downtown area), Olissippo Castelo is a four-star hotel in a magical location. Some rooms have a private terrace. The castle is a few minutes away, and the Baixa is easily reachable. However, climbing back the steep and cobbled streets round the hotel may not be easy for people with reduced mobility.
