Memmo Alfama

Of all the positive things one can say about the luxury hotel in Lisbon Memmo Alfama, unquestionably the best is that its location is unbeatable. And how else could you describe the location of this boutique hotel which lies in the very heart of Lisbon’s historic area – Alfama – a colourful district best-known for its narrow meandering streets, traditional shops, stairways, viewpoints and the much sought-after Fado restaurants? Not only is it located just 500 m away from the São Jorge Castle and the Catedral Sé Patriarcal but within minutes you will find yourself in downtown Lisbon, where you will be able to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of the bohemian Bairro Alto, the emblematic Avenida da Liberdade and the trendy Chiado. Not to mention the fact that the famous Tram “28” stops close to the hotel so the only thing you need to do is hop on and enjoy the ride through the winding and steep streets of Lisbon’s oldest quarters.

Apart from its great location, the historic Memmo Alfama hotel boasts 42 exclusive rooms of different categories, a wine bar and pool on the first floor, all with magnificent views of Lisbon’s old city and the Tagus River, a small corner dedicated to those wishing to discover more about the city’s rich history and culture (the signature “Lisbon Story”) and a 24-h “loyalty fridge” usable on trust basis. And as much as we hate to ruin the surprise, we have to mention that guests will be checked-in in a stylish living room instead of the “classic” reception desk, equipped with a library where you can also borrow books if you wish to do so. All this topped up by friendly, helpful staff who will do their best to make the most of your stay. A perfect “home away from home”, as the owners like to call it. All rooms are decorated in delicate beige and brown tones and feature air conditioning, a minibar with Portuguese drinks and snacks, flat-screen TVs and complimentary high-speed internet access. If you are looking for a place to stay right in the midst of the action, the Memmo Alfama hotel could be what you are looking for.
