The honest take
Avenida Palace is the better-loved and more atmospheric hotel, with a 9.6 guest rating against Tivoli's 8.8, but it costs $880 versus $533 and has no pool or spa listed. If you want a rooftop pool, garden, spa and a modern tower on Lisbon's grand avenue, book Tivoli. If you want 19th-century grandeur, marble bathrooms and free valet parking at a landmark address by Restauradores, book Avenida Palace and pay for it.
The look and the feel
Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa
Tivoli Avenida Liberdade sits in a 1930s-derived tower reworked into contemporary luxury, all glass, pale stone and clean horizontal lines along Lisbon's answer to the Champs-Élysées. The rooftop bar is the draw: a round pool set in a garden with panoramic views over the city's rooftops and the castle beyond, popular at golden hour with a cocktail crowd. Public rooms are polished rather than characterful, built for comfort and a view rather than for lingering in the lobby, and the Anantara spa adds a genuine wellness layer that the avenue's older hotels don't have.
Right for travellers who want a pool, spa and rooftop views as part of the stay, not just a bed.
Hotel Avenida Palace
Avenida Palace opened in 1892 and still carries that fin-de-siècle weight: antique-style furnishings, marble bathrooms, a grand lounge and a library stocked with books in several languages, all facing Restauradores Square where the trams and the crowds of central Lisbon pass below. It sits at the foot of the avenue rather than midway up it, closer to Baixa's grid of tiled facades and old cafés than to the newer glass end near Marquês de Pombal. The feel is of a proper old European palace hotel — heavy curtains, gilt, hush — rather than a resort, and it draws guests who want history and service over amenities.
Right for travellers who want old-world Lisbon grandeur and a landmark address, and don't mind paying well above the avenue's other five-stars for it.
Choosing Tivoli over Avenida Palace means giving up nothing on the amenity list — it's Avenida Palace that lacks the spa, pool and pet allowance Tivoli has — but you trade the palace's history, its 9.6 rating and its Restauradores location for a lower nightly rate.
Avenida Palace is the more beautiful room to stand in — marble, antiques, a real 19th-century palace — while Tivoli is the better one to lounge by a pool in, and for pure architectural character the Palace wins.

“Good stay. But for a five stars the soundproofing is not that great. You hear the club’s sounds and the street’s sounds”
I liked the location, the concierges marcus and leonardo are extremely helpful
The price to value ratio does not feel fair. The rooms are nicely decorated but other than that nothing too fancy or special and very bad sound isolation.
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
