About this hotel
Olissippo Lapa Palace is a late 19th-century independent hotel in Lisbon's Belem-Alcantara-Estrela zone, housed in a building dating to 1870. The property preserves period architecture and character typical of Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods, offering guests a sense of place rooted in the city's architectural heritage rather than modern chain uniformity. The hotel has earned recognition as World Travel Awards' World's Leading Classic Hotel in 2025, a distinction that reflects both the integrity of its historic fabric and its operation as a functioning hotel. The location places visitors within walking distance of cultural institutions and the Tagus waterfront, drawing travellers interested in heritage accommodation and the quieter rhythms of Lisbon's west bank.
