Pestana Palace Lisboa

At Pestana Palace Lisbon, the palace and gardens are a National Monument.

A week here, month by month

At Pestana Palace, leave a few hours unplanned. I would come for the garden and for a palace to return to after Lisbon’s hills; if every evening belongs in the centre, allow for the journey.

8 min readHow we write the guide

  1. Sleep in the palace

    D. Carlos has 2 sitting rooms, one with a desk and one with a dining table. Choose it when work or entertaining needs its own space away from the bedroom.

  2. For children

    Cots are free for children up to 3. Extra beds for children up to 12 cost €60 per night, subject to availability; include them when comparing rooms.

  3. A summer lunch

    Casa do Lago by SOI opens in summer beside the pool, serving Asian-inspired food. At other times, plan lunch elsewhere in the hotel or in town.

What Pestana Palace is

Palácio de Valle Flôr began as a private residence in the late 19th century. Following a decade of restoration, it became a hotel on 18 May 2001.14

The property combines the historic building with contemporary wings. The 4 royal suites occupy the family’s former quarters on the palace’s second floor: choose that part of the catalogue if sleeping in the original building matters.14

347 guests said so on Google, from 27 January 2026 to 2 November 2026. Google reviews of the hotel, including visits to its bars and restaurants. Peer hotels may cover different periods. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Lisbon: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 3 November 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

Dine in the former ballrooms

Valle Flôr occupies the former ballrooms and serves contemporary Portuguese cooking. Give the dining room a place in your stay even with dinners planned elsewhere.14

Good to know before you book

  • The gym is closed from 25 October to 30 November for improvement works. If you exercise every day, account for that restriction when choosing dates.14

  • Before you choose your dates, see what a night in Lisbon costs, month by month.

For those who like a softer bed

A guest enjoys the bed and towels, while making clear a preference for softer mattresses. The air conditioning also works well during a very hot day.

Other hotels in the guide

La piscina esterna del The One Palácio da Anunciada

The One Palácio da Anunciada

At The One, head towards Restauradores, then return beneath the palace’s restored ceilings. I’d choose it for a few days away together, leaving an afternoon for the garden and its century-old dragon tree.

Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon

Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon

You can run above the rooftops and take tea among tapestries in the same day. I’d come for a Lisbon trip with time to spend at the hotel as well.

La piscina sul tetto dell’EPIC SANA Lisboa

EPIC SANA Lisboa

At EPIC SANA Lisboa, the day can end in a rooftop pool with Lisbon ahead: I’d come between May and September. You’re in Amoreiras; if you want Alfama’s lanes immediately outside, choose a base closer to them.

Portrait Milano's Piazza

Portrait Milano

A piazza open to Milan, then the former seminary’s loggias and the room you choose for quiet.

Palazzo Parigi's monumental lobby

Palazzo Parigi

A theatrical staircase in Brera, a hidden garden and a room view you choose for yourself.

Ca’ di Dio seen from the water, with its long facade on Riva Ca’ di Dio and the bridge over the canal

Ca’ di Dio

From the Castello waterfront into a sheltered court, with the Arsenale on foot and San Giorgio at dinner.

Excelsior Hotel Gallia

Arrive at Milano Centrale, then see the station from above after a swim beneath the skylight.

The Dolder Grand from the air at sunset: the turreted 1899 building between its two curved modern wings, on the wooded hillside above Zurich

The Dolder Grand

Curhaus towers above Zurich, art in the corridors and warm water facing the city.

The Belle Époque façade on Rue du Grand-Chêne: red awnings, wrought-iron balconies and the carved gable above the columned entrance porch lettered “Lausanne-Palace”, with flags; the brasserie’s green awning on the left

Lausanne Palace

Lausanne climbs behind the palace; from the right rooms, the lake appears beyond the rooftops.

The Secret Garden at dusk: stone stairways and balustrades, lit by small lamps, climb the slope in terraces among trees and clipped shrubs; a young tree in the foreground and a rustic stone arch above a terrace at the top

Hotel de Russie

From Via del Babuino, a garden climbs towards the Pincio and Rome changes pace at the door.

La Terrazza, the hotel’s rooftop, at dusk: pale sofas and armchairs, wooden tables with small lit lamps and potted plants; behind, the dome of San Carlo al Corso and the rooftops of Rome as far as the Vittoriano

Bulgari Hotel Roma

The Mausoleum of Augustus outside, a mosaic pool within and Rome from the fifth floor.

The view over the hotel’s roofs in summer: flags over the park, the Schanzengraben canal lined with boats, and Lake Zurich with the Alps on the horizon

Baur au Lac

Johannes Baur opened the hotel in 1844.
