Boutique hotel in Lisbon's historic Chiado district

Rooms and Suites

Dear Lisbon - Bordalo Palace Chiado offers 9 rooms and suites in a traditional 19th-century home that survived the 1755 earthquake. Each unit is fitted with a flat-screen cable TV, a private bathroom with free toiletries, and air conditioning. The rooms are decorated with warm colors and furnishings selected to reflect Portuguese heritage, with unique room sizes and features inspired by local artistic influences.

Location

The hotel sits on Largo Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, a short walk from Chiado and Carmo Church, and within 400 meters of the Santa Justa Lift. Popular nearby attractions include the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the trendy Bairro Alto district, and the riverfront Commerce Square. Baixa-Chiado Metro Station is less than a 5-minute walk away, and Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport is 7 km from the accommodation.

The breakfast selection changes daily and includes local delicacies such as pasteis de nata. Customizable food requests are accommodated, and the surrounding area offers many bakeries, restaurants, and cafés within a short walking distance.

Feedback about Dear Lisbon - Bordalo Palace Chiado from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Dear Lisbon - Bordalo Palace Chiado impresses guests with its central location, making it easy to walk to many attractions in the heart of Chiado and close to the Baixa/Chiado subway stop. The hotel occupies an elegant, palatial building featuring spacious rooms elegantly decorated with antiques; some guests noted that the rooms are so big that it seems to be the palace's former dining room judging from the garlands of fruit carved on its ceiling. Guests enjoy the well-appointed rooms, comfortable beds, and a good breakfast with fresh pastries and fruits, served in a cozy space. Some found that the breakfast options are not very extensive, but they are still satisfactory.
