Guests looking for something outside the norm will likely be pleased with Lisbon Short Stay Apartments Baixa. There’s no run-of-the-mill decor at this 55-room hotel; instead, there are bold portraits covering doors, mirrored ceilings decorating hallways, and an eclectic mishmash of furnishings in common spaces. A buffet breakfast with a variety of homemade foods is offered for a fee, and there’s a bar on-site with live music. Rooms are modern and have kitchenettes and free Wi-Fi, but they lack alarm clocks and can get noisy. Guests looking to stay in a quieter location may want to compare rates with The House, a modern boutique B&B in a residential area outside the city center.
Scene
Apartment hotel with a modern art gallery vibe and lively bar
The lobby at Lisbon Short Stay Apartments Baixa oozes
industrial elegance, with chandeliers and exposed pipes on the ceilings. The mix of furnishings
is simultaneously homey and eccentric and includes wall clocks, mannequins, and vintage
furniture covered in animal prints. Hallways vary; some boast vibrant hues of
red and blue while others are covered in geometric mirrors making them look like
the inside of a fun house. The funky vibe tends to attract young couples and groups.

Rooms
Distinctive, artsy rooms with kitchenettes and modern bathrooms
The rooms at the hotel are
all one-of-a-kind, and most are decorated with vibrant artwork. There's a variety of color and
furnishing combinations, including a green room with a wooden ceiling, a white
room with a blue ceiling, and a gray-and-white brushed room that feels like a warehouse.
Room decor is a varied mix of modern and vintage pieces such as metal tables and
wooden headboards. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, and kitchenettes
furnished with cookware, refrigerators, coffee/tea facilities, microwaves, and
stoves. Some rooms also come with olive oil and honey. Most bathrooms are modern, with soap and shampoo dispensers,
glass vessel sinks and stone or glittery tile walk-in showers -- one of the bathrooms even has an underwater mural on the ceiling. Rooms can get outside noise,
so earplugs are provided. There's also a Penthouse that can sleep up to
six guests.
Features
Breakfast buffet for a fee and on-site bar serving drinks and tapas
