6 of the Coolest Hotels for a Minimoon in Lisbon

From exploring pretty cobblestone streets filled with laidback eateries, bars and cafes to strolls along the Tagus River and rides on the iconic Tram 28, Lisbon strikes a beautiful balance between being buzzy yet relaxed. Spend your minimoon taking in the city’s rich history and culture, tucking into their iconic delicacies such as Pastel De Natas, making pitstops at cool rooftop bars and unwinding by the waterfront.

After a day out and about, there is truly nothing better than going back to a beautiful, impeccably designed hotel to cosy up, relax and enjoy all they have to offer. Below we’ve listed some of our favourite hotels in Lisbon that are perfect for a minimoon or honeymoon.

1. The Ivens

A cosy, eccentric oasis hidden in the heart of the city, The Ivens is inspired by two Portuguese explorers, Roberto Ivens and Hermenegildo Capelo, who risked their lives for over a year to explore the unknown in Africa, bringing back sketches, maps, plants, rocks, fossils and unknown animals as part of their research. As soon as you set foot in the door, the interiors are plotted out to resemble the different elements of their journey, from cosy tropical library spaces to light filled lounges and restaurants. The hotel is home to 87 impeccably decorated bedrooms including 10 suites and a 150sqm penthouse with views over the river, restaurants both indoors and al fresco, a jazz club, spa and 24 hour gym.
