The 50-room Altis Belem Hotel & Spa is a luxury design hotel in historic Belem, right on the Tagus River. It is a bit removed from Lisbon's city center, but Belem has several attractions of its own, as well as gorgeous marina views and nice restaurants along the river. Rooms are spacious and modern, and feature striking illustrated wall panels that create a unique look. Some rooms have balconies with stunning river views and private whirlpools. Marble bathrooms have glass walls that modest guests may not find appealing. Despite its small size, the hotel has excellent features including a Michelin-starred restaurant, spa, indoor pool, fitness center, and bar. Travelers who'd rather be in central Lisbon could check out the Altis Avenida, a sister property with equal boutique charm.

At the top of one of Lisbon's most beautiful viewpoints in trendy Bairro Alto is the two-and-a-half-pearl Independente Hostel & Suites. Its 18 modern, boho-inspired rooms range from functional six-person dorms to hotel-like suites with private bathrooms, attracting both backpackers and more traditional tourists to the center of the city. Two on-site restaurants help this hostel fit right into the popular party neighborhood, where bars and clubs can keep some light sleepers awake late into the night. A one-minute walk to the Elevador da Gloria makes it easy to reach tourist areas like the Baixa and Chiado districts. Travelers looking to skip the hostel experience should consider Rossio Garden Hotel, which has similar rates and boutique style, though is a bit farther from the party in Bairro Alto.

The Whatever Art Bed & Breakfast is a small and charming budget property that stands apart with its creative decor and warm hospitality, both courtesy of the artist owner. The five individually decorated guest rooms range significantly in size, and have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. However, there are only two bathrooms that are shared amongst the five rooms. A free homemade breakfast is served daily, and there's a small outdoor terrace frequented by peacocks. It's not exactly centrally located, but public transport options are readily available and the beautiful, 19th-century Campo Pequeno Bullring (now used for events and shops) is one minute away. For a bigger hotel featuring guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, travelers may want to consider the nearby Alif Hotel Campo Pequeno, though it doesn't have the individual charm of this bed-and-breakfast.

Pensao Royal is a two-and-a-half-pearl bed-and-breakfast located right in the center of downtown Lisbon. It's affordable, but there isn't much value here considering its facilities and amenities. The property has five colorful guest rooms with an eclectic mix of antique and contemporary decor, and a few are accented with traditional Portuguese tile. All have en-suite bathrooms, but not all have basics like TVs -- and those that do contain older, tube-style models. Breakfast is included and there's a simple communal kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, and coffeemaker for guests to use at all hours, but there's no elevator. Travelers looking for a stay that's more modern can consider Lisbon Dreams Guest House.
