On the green Colina de Santana, a quiet hilltop above Avenida da Liberdade, the Torel Palace occupies a restored 19th-century aristocratic palace. Each room takes its cue from a king or queen of Portuguese history, combining original mouldings and antiques with contemporary art, so no two are quite alike.
Terraced gardens step down to a heated outdoor pool with views over central Lisbon and the Tagus, alongside the Calla Wellness & Spa with its indoor pool, hammam, Turkish bath and gym. Two restaurants and a poolside bar handle the dining, and the hotel was named Best Boutique Hotel at the 2025 Publituris Portugal Travel Awards. Avenida da Liberdade, Príncipe Real and Rossio are all within ten minutes on foot.
