The 59-room Dom Carlos Liberty Lisboa is a mid-range hotel with a slightly retro feel located a few blocks from the luxury shopping district on Avenida da Liberdade. While the wood-paneled lobby looks quite ample and feels airy, other spaces upstairs, including the hallways and a lovely, skylit fitness center, are on the small side. Rooms have an elegant, understated aesthetic with wood-paneled headboards and recessed lighting. There are a good number of restaurants in the area, and the more casual downtown neighborhoods are a 10-minute bus ride away. Guests have described it as good value for this particular price range, which is on the low end for the district. There is free buffet breakfast and free Wi-Fi.
Scene
Mid-range, retro hotel with wood paneled elegance
The Dom Carlos Liberty Lisboa hotel has warm wood paneling throughout, giving the property a slightly retro air. Brushed chrome elevators, recessed lighting, and potted plants lend a slight casual corporate aesthetic to a lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows. The building itself is a modern, eight-story structure with a slight Bauhaus feel to its curved, plain exterior. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet.
Location
One long block from Marques de Pombal square, three short blocks from Avenida da Liberdade
The Dom Carlos Liberty Lisboa hotel is situated in a prime shopping area, within a few minutes walk of the luxury shops of Avenida da Liberdade. While there are some restaurants within walking distance, guests can also hop a bus at Avenida metro station about four blocks away for access to the Baixa neighborhood and its plethora of quaint stores and eateries (10 minutes away).
