Monte Belvedere Hotel by Shiadu

Monte Belvedere Hotel is a boutique hotel, part of the Shiadu group, which brings together several trendy guesthouses and hotels across Portugal. Monte Belvedere is a particularly gay-friendly one, just 5 minutes away from the Bairro Alto gay bars and Trombeta Bath. The hotel is also located next to Miradouro Santa Catarina, one of Lisbon’s most popular viewpoints.

There are 21 carefully-appointed rooms, all decorated in a modern, minimalist style. The rooms come in Standard, Superior, and Family, with the latter being a great choice for groups of friends looking for a stylish budget option. Some of the rooms have lovely river views over the Tagus.

The hotel’s biggest draw is its awesome rooftop bar and restaurant on the 7th floor, featuring an open-air terrace as well as covered seating. In the mornings, a delicious and high-quality breakfast is served here, which allows you to start the day with a stunning 360° view over Lisbon.
