Hotel da Baixa is $480 a night, rated 9.8 from a much larger review pool, and sits deep in the Baixa grid near Rossio and the Santa Justa lift. Avenida Palace is $880, rated 9.6, and has a fitness room the other lacks plus valet parking. If you want value and a strong guest record, book da Baixa; if you want the 19th-century palace experience and don't mind paying almost double, book Avenida Palace. Both are within 400 metres of each other, so location is not really the deciding factor here.
Da Baixa reads as a contemporary conversion inside the Pombaline grid, the kind of building with thick party walls and tall windows that Lisbon's downtown rebuild after the 1755 earthquake left behind. Inside, expect a cleaner, more modern hand: 4K televisions, Nespresso machines, Bluetooth speakers, a breakfast buffet room done in a cozy, neutral register rather than anything ornate. It's a hotel for being efficiently comfortable in the middle of the old grid, not for lingering in a grand salon.
Travellers who want a well-rated, well-equipped modern base right in the Baixa without paying palace prices.
Avenida Palace is a genuine 19th-century hotel at the foot of Avenida da Liberdade, overlooking Restauradores Square, and it still carries that belle-époque bone structure: marble bathrooms, antique-style furniture, a Palace Lounge and a library stocked with books in several languages. The public rooms are built for sitting a while, the kind of place with dark wood, heavy curtains and a hush that modern hotels rarely bother recreating. It's a hotel that trades on its own history rather than trying to look new.
Travellers who want the atmosphere of a historic grand hotel, with valet parking and a gym, and are willing to pay for it.
Booking da Baixa over Avenida Palace means giving up the on-site fitness room and the valet parking that comes with the pricier hotel, along with the older, grander architecture itself.
Avenida Palace is the more beautiful place to actually be in, because its marble, antique furnishings and library lounge are the real texture of a 19th-century grand hotel, not a modern approximation of one.

Location - very local. Breakfast is ok.
in toilet they have big big window facing other windows across the street, but the roller blind is half-transparent!!! How??? Why??? Somebody's nail behind the sink in the toilet.

Localização otima , construção classica estilo palacio ... Café da manhã maravilhoso
A recepção do hotel é muito acanhada , não condiz com o hotel ... Não reflete o que o hotel realmente é... O concierge muito fraco ... Pessoal sem vontade de ajudar nada simpáticos ..
“Elegant and beautiful, with top notch staff. We love Lisboa.”
April 2026 was our second time in Lisboa but our first time staying at this beautiful hotel. We noticed the hotel during our first visit so it was a no brainer where to stay this time. The hotel is sophisticated looking without any notion of being snobby. The colors, fabric and material of the curtains and furniture are so rich and appealing. Very clean too. The hotel is maintained very well. We roamed all through t
