We have just returned from a short stay at the Lisboa Plaza Hotel and it was great. The Hotel is relatively small when compared to the large chain hotels but it offers a different, more personal experience. The decor is unusual as it is in a traditional Portuguese style and the staff are very helpful.
The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre (10-15 mins) where you will find plenty of shops and restaurants which are open late. We tended to eat a substantial buffet breakfast at the Lisboa and have a snack lunch.
A piece of advice about sightseeing in and around Lisbon - buy a travel ticket from a kiosk near to the information centre as this is valid for 24hrs on all buses and trams. It will save you real money ! But you will also be walking a lot which may help burn off the calories after sampling the many cakes and pastries which seem to be traditional fare in this city. Enjoy !
