The VIP Executive Art’s is a so-so pick for a short stay if you’re on a budget. It is located in Campo das Nacoes, the former site of Expo '98 (the Libson World Exposition). While it is not central, this locale is convenient for those who need to be near the airport or who don’t mind taking the metro to get to the city center. Rooms are basic but pleasant, with wood floors, cream headboards, and coral bedding and curtains; most have flat-screen TVs, but some old tube TVs still linger. The hotel caters to business travelers, and has several meeting rooms that can host conferences (including a large auditorium-style option), as well as a tiny business center, but there’s no Wi-Fi in the rooms, and wired Internet is slow. In short, it’s an adequate option, but it’s worth comparing prices at nearby hotels.

The 148-room HF Fenix Urban is a nice mid-range property in a quiet location a block from the Parque metro stop. The clean, modern rooms feel Ikea-esque (think: blonde wood, plush beds with crisp white duvets, white walls), and feature flat-screen TVs and stocked minibars. There’s little in the way if amenities, and the bar and restaurant are nothing special, but the hotel does offer free Wi-Fi and discounted passes to a nearby local gym. This is a good value pick for both business travelers and families -- some rooms feature bunk beds, sofa beds, and microwaves.

The value Real Residencias offers 24 apartment-style suites in a somewhat removed location near Eduardo VII Park. The hotel is within walking distance of the park and a museum, but it's otherwise at least a 10-minute subway ride from Lisbon's main attractions. However, the two Studios and 22 one-bedroom Apartments are large, with separate living rooms and large kitchenettes equipped with cooking utensils, stovetops, microwaves, full refrigerators, and toasters. Decor is traditional and simple, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Unfortunately, very few amenities are on-site aside from its restaurant, but guests get access to the health club facilities at the nearby Real Palacio. Travelers wanting a more central location and traditional hotel might prefer the similarly priced Turim Av Liberdade Hotel.

Lisbon Marriott Hotel is an upper-middle-range chain property in the financial district and close to the zoo, but far from Lisbon's city center -- and the nearest metro station is a 15-minute walk away. With 16 meeting rooms, it’s frequented mostly by business travelers -- though note that in-room Wi-Fi costs a fee. On-site amenities are aplenty, including a restaurant and tapas bar, a lovely outdoor pool, and a bright and airy fitness center equipped with modern machines, plus a handful of shops are on-site. The 577 guest rooms are clean, though slightly dated, and equipped with flat-screen TVs and balconies.

Hotel Britania has a loyal set of customers who return year after year. Its location on a tree-lined street just off of bustling Avenida de Liberdade is convenient, but removed from the loud noise of the city. It's a boutique, with only 32 rooms, and it lacks the amenities of a larger property -- there is no fitness center, spa, or full restaurant. However, the hotel does offer a breakfast buffet as well as 24-hour room service, and guests can grab a drink at the wood-paneled bar. Built in the 1940s, the hotel maintains the Art Deco look: The lobby is outfitted with marble columns and impressive chandeliers, and the spacious rooms have dark woods, silver accents, funky light fixtures, and marble bathrooms.
