Bay Liberdade is a five-pearl boutique hotel that opened in 2015. It's centrally
located close to Avenida da Liberdade, a five-minute walk from the metro. The 98 light-filled guest rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped
with stocked minibars, flat-screen TVs, and espresso machines -- many have balconies. The hotel's many on-site features do not
disappoint and include an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, a bistro, a rooftop bar, a fitness center, and a spa. The buffet breakfast costs extra but gets enthusiastic reviews. Those traveling in 2016 should note that a major construction project underway directly across the
street may cause some nuisance to guests; those looking for something quieter may want to check out Tiara Park Atlantic Lisboa instead.

Scene
Chic and elegant boutique hotel with a casual atmosphere
Located
on a typical Lisbon street with cobblestone sidewalks, Porto Bay
Liberdade has a beautiful classical facade and looks more like a posh residential building than a hotel. The lobby has a chic,
understated elegance, done up in complementary shades of gray, white,
and brown. The stylish lamps are made of stone vases, and there are
several intimate seating areas of leather sofas, gray upholstered
armchairs, and rustic wooden tables. The many potted plants and
nature-inspired artwork create a relaxed atmosphere. The art here has been specially created by local artists for the hotel,
and includes panels made of traditional "azulego" tiles by Joana Rego and photographs of Lisbon neighborhoods by Henrique Seruca. Most of the guest who stay here are couples
visiting Lisbon as leisure travelers.
