Internacional Design Hotel

Intimate Lisbon Hotel Near Area Attractions

Ideal for Business or Leisure

The four star Internacional Design Hotel on Plaza D. Pedro IV, Lisbon’s main square, places you in the heart of the city’s vibrant downtown district. An array of amenities, such as multilingual staff, a 24-hour front desk, concierge and bellhop services, and a well-equipped business center, ensure you will enjoy a comfortable stay at one of Lisbon’s most popular boutique hotels.

Plentiful Local Attractions

There’s plenty to keep you occupied during your stay at the IDH. You’ll find the hotel is within a short stroll of popular districts such as Chiado and Bairro Alto. The palatial ruins of Castle St. Jorge are also nearby. Head to Vasco da Gama Tower or Aquarium LDA to take part in a Lisbon must: a ride in a traditional gondola-style cable car over the Tagus River.

Tempting Dining Options

The on-site Bastardo restaurant serves traditional Portuguese cuisine, while lighter fare, along with a choice of exquisite cocktail creations, are available in the hotel bar. You’ll also want to sample the fare at some of the local restaurants. Some of the more popular spots include Restaurante Santo Antonio De Alfama and Bistro 100 Maneiras. The hotel’s concierge is happy to offer additional dining recommendations.

Convenient Local Transportation

Although many popular Lisbon attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, you may find the Internacional Design Hotel’s local transportation option of use. In addition to airport, train station, and cruise terminal transfers, the hotel offers a convenient area shuttle. This is perfect if you’d like to explore further afield destinations. There is a small surcharge for these transportation options.

Stylish Guest Rooms

The hotel’s 55 guest rooms boast contemporary styling in one of four themes: urban, tribal, zen, and pop. Whichever theme suits you best, abundant amenities create a comfortable space. Use the functional workspace and free WiFi to catch up on your emails, watch a movie on the 40-inch LED Internet TV, relax in the Rituals deluxe bath, or refresh with the hydromassage shower. Medium and large rooms include Nespresso coffee machines, and suites include a Playstation.

The Bottom Line

IDH reviews speak favorably of excellent guest service and how easy it is to reach local attractions. Despite its bustling location, reviews rarely mention excessive noise levels at this Bairro Alto hotel. The low rate includes free breakfast, placing the Internacional Design Hotel among the more affordable Lisbon hotels.
