History and Class near Lisbon’s Most Iconic Monument
With 60 different rooms near the Tagus river in the historic center of Belém, one of the most beautiful and emblematic areas of the Portuguese capital, the Palácio do Governador (Governor’s Palace, in English) it isn’t just another hotel in Lisbon but an emblematic boutique hotel that revives a unique historical heritage, whilst investing in quality, intimacy and refinement.
Built on the site of the former house of the governor of the Tower of Belém, exquisitely restored, on top of Roman ruins probably from the 1st to the 5th century, the Palácio do Governador is a palatial building with a reception that once was a chapel, a restaurant with original domes as ceilings and a contemporary SPA that’s linked to the ancient thermal traditions of Mediterranean cultures.
Outside, two swimming pools - one for adults, another for children - underscore the promise of leisure and recreation, making this Lisbon hotel even more unique and exclusive. The gardens with their reflecting pools offer a serene and idyllic setting in the middle of the city, contributing to a richer experience for the hotel’s guests and visitors.
