Fodor's Expert Review The Lumiares

Just a few steps from the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint, The Lumiares is a chic boutique hotel in the heart of the bustling Bairro Alto. Artistic touches abound, from the monochrome floor tiles and gold reception desk to the beautifully packaged amenities in the bathrooms. The spacious rooms are equipped with kitchenettes, but with a high end rooftop bar-restaurant and relaxed downstairs cafe-bar (not to mention myriad dining opportunities in the surrounding Bairro Alto), guests might well choose to let somebody else do the cooking. There’s a small but stylish spa, and a modern fitness room which guests can access 24/7.
