The SANA Reno Hotel is a mid-range hotel near the Sao Sebastiao metro station that resembles an aging luxury apartment building. The 92 rooms are a little more modern than the exteriors, with sturdy beds and blond-wood furniture. The rooftop pool has just enough length to do short laps, and the deck can hold numerous sunbathers. A business center and conference space are available for executives. Travelers interested in a reasonably priced and centrally located hotel in Lisbon should also consider the Mercure Lisboa, which has comparable amenities and more modern decor.

The Tivoli Jardim is a high-style hotel in a great location right on bustling Avenida da Liberdade (Lisbon's main street, lined by shops, restaurants, and sights). There are two attractive restaurants with sleek, whimsical decor reminiscent of Philippe Starck's style (picture crystal chandeliers and gold and silver furniture), but aside from that, the hotel has very few on-site amenities. However, guests do have access to the facilities at the sister hotel next door. Although rooms are small, they are attractive and hip, with coral throws and funky artwork, as well as up-to-date technology: iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi (for a fee).

The 63-room Hotel Lisboa is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel just off of Avenida da Liberdade, slightly outside of tourist-central, about a 15-minute walk to Rossio Square. Cool hangout spots include a stylish lobby bar and a full-service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and lounge areas. Clean, contemporary rooms are somewhat generic but nicely sized and feature hardwood floors, colored accent walls, and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. There's a tiny but modern fitness center and a free breakfast buffet. The price is competitive, too: Hotel Metropole is dated and can cost even more, though it is right in Rossio Square.

The three-pearl America Diamonds Hotel is a solid choice for travelers who want an affordable stay with style. It's located in the Avenidas Novas area north of central Lisbon, about a five-minute walk from El Corte Ingles mall and Eduardo VII Park. While the location isn't terribly convenient for sightseeing, the metro and bus are across the street, and it's about a 15-minute ride to reach the city's top attractions. The hotel lacks leisure facilities, but it offers a well-reviewed free hot breakfast and there's a sushi restaurant with city views, plus a chic cocktail bar and lounge. The 66 guest rooms have a colorful look, but they aren't as attractive as public spaces. All have flat-screen TVs, lightly stocked minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack kettles and coffeemakers don't come standard. For a step up, check out the nearby SANA Reno Hotel, which offers a rooftop pool and sauna, but no free breakfast.
