Palácio do Governador - Lisbon Hotel & Spa

From the very first moment I arrived, I was completely enchanted by this beautiful hotel. Welcomed with a glass of champagne and delicious sweets, I immediately felt the warmth and elegance that make Palácio do Governador so special. It’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a magical blend of history, refinement, and heartfelt hospitality. The building itself is stunning, combining the charm of an ancient palace with the comfort and design of a modern five-star hotel. My room was spotless, stylish, and peaceful, with a wonderful sense of warmth and harmony. Every little detail was carefully thought out — from the soft bed linens to the calming scent in the hallways. The spa deserves a special mention — an oasis of pure relaxation. The heated pool, the aroma of essential oils, and the kindness of the staff made me feel like I was in another world. Breakfast was another highlight, full of delicious options and fresh local flavors — the perfect start to each day. The team at Palácio do Governador truly made the difference. Everyone I met was genuinely kind, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality turned my stay into something memorable and personal. A heartfelt thank-you to Mr. Marcos Sousa, the exceptional General Manager, whose passion and leadership shine through every detail. His presence gives this hotel its soul — making it one of the finest places to stay in Lisbon. The location in Belém is ideal — close to the river, surrounded by Lisbon’s most iconic monuments, cafés, and peaceful gardens. It’s the perfect spot to explore the city while still enjoying the calm of a luxurious retreat. I left this hotel with a full heart and unforgettable memories. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the very best of Lisbon — comfort, beauty, and true hospitality.
