Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade

Located on leafy and luxurious Avenida da Liberdade, this Sofitel honors Lisbon’s rich history at the heart of Portugal’s glory days of exploration. The decor takes inspiration from the lands that Portuguese sailors came across in their travels, with subtle Asian and African influences mixed with a classically grand European style.

In the rooms, the style is warm and contemporary, with rich golden tones and a truly relaxing feel. Sofitel’s super-comfy MyBed design makes every night a pleasure, while high-end amenities like a Bose sound system, Illy espresso machine, and Lanvin toiletries add that extra touch of luxury.

There is a very good restaurant, AdLib, which blends Portuguese and French gastronomies, and a swanky lobby bar. Both specialize in Portuguese wines and drinks, with the bar especially offering an excellent selection of Port wines.

Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade is just across the boulevard from Lisbon’s newest gay sauna, Olissipo Bath. The Bairro Alto and Principe Real gay nightlife is about a 15-minute walk away, and Avenida metro station is just two minutes down the road.
