Lisbon's boutique gem

Now fully open is the AlmaLusa Lisbon, an enchanting 28-room boutique property.

It is set in the historic Praça do Município, opposite the city hall, an ideal position for visitors wanting to embrace the city’s past within a short walk of Alfama and the atmosphere-laden fado bars.  The rail station for Cascai and Estoria, is minutes away, as is the Praça do Comércio. You can sit inside or out at the Delfina restaurant.

What makes the hotel very unusual is a combined marketing exercise with the archaeologist tour guides Time Travellers.
