Located right across from arguably one of Lisbon’s best restaurants – seafood heaven Cervejaria Ramiro – Hotel 1908 is a gem, set in a stunningly imposing 20th-century structure on a corner of Lisbon loved by locals and visitors alike. As one of the city’s most iconic buildings, you’ll feel the grandeur from the minute you set eyes on the hotel (without the grand price – this is arguably one of the nicest cheap hotels in Lisbon). Opened in 2019 after years of dereliction, the property now pays tribute to Portuguese artists within, with artworks woven into the original nooks and crannies of the design. This is a hotel that focuses on the smaller details; a warming green and purple colour theme, black face towels specifically for makeup removal and personal service from the staff, who remember your name and greet you warmly.

Rooms here are also suitably unique; guests can take in a view of lively Largo do Intendente from ‘Square Rooms’, while the ‘Attic Rooms’ are a set of three rooms with an exclusive lobby which can be either booked individually or together. The jewel in the crown, should you be willing to splash out more, is ‘The King of Dome’ – the main suite with a huge amount of space and access to the hotel’s emblematic dome, for a stay that feels really special.
