No spa? Who cares! No high-tech gimmicks? Who gives a damn?! A wonderful, wonderful place. One of the best-preserved belle-epoque hotels I have ever seen. Furnished throughout with the most exquisite, priceless antiques. Not an ugly object in sight. Yes, the mattress was a bit soft but what a walk down the central staircase! The chandeliers in the breakfast room... more

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights (2-3 May) in room 301. Great location in the middle of the city and within walking distance of Castello san Jorge, the Bairro Alta, Rossio and Chaido and right next to the station to Sintra. It was also a very short walk to the 28 tram stop (for the rickety old tourist tram... more

My daughter and I stayed here for a few nights early in March. The location is the reason I booked this hotel. The staff won us over, first by upgrading us to a Jr. Suite and then by sending a special gift of wine and fruit to the room since they found out it was my birthday (Feb 29). They... more

The dining room is fin... more

The room should be refurbished to offer a really 5 stars comfort but, mayby, the charm of this hotel is also this. The bathroom... more

The Hotel is in a good location and had a certain charm. The breakfast buffet was quite good as was the diinner at the hotel. The room we were given however had a terrible odor. They tried to disguise it with airfresheners. After taking a shower, the smell got increasingly worse. Housekeeping said it was a sewer backage...and indeed it... more

The Avenida Palace is a very beautiful and charming hotel...lots of chandeliers, elegant curtains and eye catching floral displays throughout. The entrance lobby, salon and bar are particularly nice. it reminded me of the Metropole hotel in Brussels though it is much smaller than that hotel. The twin room we booked was pleasantly furnished and the bathroom was very cheerful... more
