A Magnificent Hotel With Extraordinarily Warm and Gracious Service
In an era in which there are many three and four star hotels masquerading as five star facilities, Lisbon’s Olissippo Lapa Palace Hotel is a true five star hotel. The Lapa Palace hotel is a magnificent, beautifully maintained facility with luxurious accommodations, beautiful grounds and common areas and outstanding service. From the moment one enters the Lapa Palace, guests are embraced by a warm and gracious staff - from the attentive door team to the front desk staff and concierge team. The hotel’s hospitality and depth of service is reminiscent of such iconic benchmarks as Paris’s famed Le Bristol and Madrid’s Palacio de los Duques Gran Melia. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed and had a large outdoor terrace overlooking the hotel’s manicured gardens and swimming pool. During our week at the hotel, the terrace provided a perfect vantage in which to enjoy Lisbon’s abundant sunshine. The hotel’s housekeeping was exemplary, consistent with the impeccable standards of this superbly managed facility. The food service was outstanding, from the extravagant breakfast buffet to its refined restaurants, all staffed by incredibly warm and gracious staff members. A special note is warranted for the hotel’s outstanding concierge department, managed by Rui Palma, the head concierge. From the moment we made our reservation and contacted the hotel via email, the concierge department was extraordinarily responsive, assisting us with dinner reservations and providing invaluable guidance in connection with Lisbon cultural institutions and historical venues. From our vantage, an experienced and knowledgeable concierge department is critical to one’s exploration of a new Region or City. The hotel’s concierge team has an encyclopedic knowledge of Lisbon and Portugal and worked assiduously to guide us throughout our visit. Mr. Palma’s superb team included Hugo Pereira, Hugo Fonseca, Filipe de Silva and Sonia Abreu - they were a pleasure to work with and helped to make our first visit to Portugal a memorable experience. Bravo to the entire management and service team of this wonderful hotel.

Don’t miss out on this fabulous hotel
A beautiful hotel with gorgeous grounds but the staff is what makes it perfect. Breakfast is delicious and the bar staff is such fun and attentive. The neighborhood is quiet so this makes your trip very relaxing.

Amazing hotel staff
The staff at this hotel made us feel so welcome. I don't think that we have ever been to another hotel where the staff were so warm and friendly. The hotel itself is lovely but the folks on the staff are what make it so very special. From the front desk to room service to house keeping to bar and breakfast staff - everyone made us feel comfortable. The buffet breakfast was huge and creative. The food served in their bar was very good and plentiful. We would have liked to dine in their elegant looking restaurant but our jet lag always got the best of us so we had our dinner in their bar/cafe. Highly recommend this hotel - and we have traveled a lot.

Grand hotel with outstanding service
We had a very enjoyable experience staying at the Olissippo Lapa Palace. A grand hotel. The room was very nice and the welcome bottle of port and cookies was a great touch. We had a good view of the river and the the outdoor pool and the gardens. The bar had great decor along with a piano player. They made an outstanding martini on the rocks. My wife and I were looked after extremely well by Patricia. Her outstanding service and help made our evening memorable. We were enjoying the bar so much that we were not sure whether to eat in the bar or the hotel restaurant where we had a reservation. Patricia spoke to the restaurant staff and arranged for us to be served from the main menu in the bar if we chose to stay there. We did end up eating in the restauarant. Wanted to try a Portuguese delicacy so had the suckling pig. It was outstanding. We used the indoor pool twice and liked it. Our card keys had stopped working. When I mentioned it to the spa attendant, Teresa, she said that she would take care of it. She went to reception and got us new keys while we were still in the pool. It is outstanding service like this that makes this hotel so special. The breakfast room was beautiful and the breakfast itself was just excellent. Just enjoyed taking our time with a couple of coffees and the good selection.
