Lapa Palace

With sophisticated elegance, the Lapa Palace was built in 1870, originally as the private residence of the Count of Valenças. About a century later, the Palace opened up as a hotel, still maintaining its royal décor of marble stucco, carved wood and richly patterned Azulejos tiles.

The hotel has 109 guest rooms that are fully equipped with majestic views overlooking the Tagus River and Lisbon, tranquil gardens and ornamental fountains and streams. Bathrooms are supplied with bathrobes, slippers and deluxe bath amenities. The private balconies and spacious rooms make a stay that is fresh and relaxing. Lapa Palace is also a short distance from five golf courses and horseback riding facilities.

The Ristorante Hotel Cipriani is an exquisite top-rated Italian restaurant with Mediterranean flavors. Executive chef Giorgio Demasio and his team serves amazing dishes including cannelloni stuffed with ricotta and zucchini or sautéed monkfish—specialties not to be missed.

Be sure to check "Virtuoso" rates in availability.  At this hotel they include:
