Memmo Principe Real – Design Hotels

Memmo Príncipe Real is tucked away in a narrow alley of Bairro Real, making it a literal hidden gem in the neighborhood. Sitting squarely between the two gay areas in Bairro Alto and Principe Real, it is about 10 minutes from both Trumps and Rua da Barroca, making it a super convenient gay-friendly hotel in Lisbon.

The hotel collaborated with several prominent Portuguese architects, artists, and designers to create a decor that is both forward-thinking and reminiscent of Lisbon’s historical heritage. Rooms feature warm neutral tones and plenty of natural light through large floor-to-ceiling windows. Guests are treated to luxury tech and amenities like Bang & Olufsen TVs, Hermes toiletries, and Bose mini-stations.

Café Príncipe Real serves breakfast in the mornings and then becomes a stylish restaurant for lunch and dinner, serving dishes built around Portugal’s influence on South American, African, and Asian cuisines. They also have an excellent cocktail menu and a terrace overlooking the outdoor pool, one of the hotel’s highlights with stunning views over Lisbon.

Memmo Principe Real is one of the top 20 hotels in Lisbon on TripAdvisor and is among the top-rated 5-star hotels in the city on Booking.com.
