Hotel for last night in Lisbon

We have one more room to book for our trip to Portugal. ( all the rest done thanks to your help!)

At the end of our trip we will fly back to Lisbon from Funchal, arriving in Lisbon around 3:30.

We will have stayed in Chiado area for 5 nights at the beginning of our trip, so we would like a different area.

I don't want a sterile Airport Hotel, but a hotel that will remind us that we are in Portugal!

Would love to hear about some of your favorites.

If you are looking for a "grand finale", Hotel da Lapa is the place.
I'd suggest Avenida Palace, but it's fairly close to Chiado and I understand you are looking for a different district.

Wow, that would be a grand finale! What a lovely place.

Nothing that dramatic for our last night, but I have been thinking of staying near the water, or a great terrace or balcony view from the city or of the city.

Since my sister-in-law will be with us we will need 2 rooms (unless there is a suite available) I was thinking $300-$350 for all 3 of us. Don't need a pool or spa, walking distance of nice restaurants.

Hotel Altis Belem. It's a place of historical significance since Columbus stopped in that very spot (maintenance purposes) before heading to Seville (Spain) returning from his 1st travel to the Americas.

Belem is very nice spot, but it does not have any of fLisbon" feel".
plus ,it is a way out of town.
There are several big hotels near Eduardo VII park , but they are just " big hotels" .

I would recommend the Hotel Lapa Palace (www.olissippohotels.com) for somewhere special, with style and class. It is not within easy walking distance of the Chiado, but they can always call you a taxi.

Depending on when you'll be here in Lisboa... Slated to open sometime in 2015 is a new Pousada in Terreiro do Paço. Can't beat that for historic, central location, right on the river!

Maybe Janelas Verdes http://www.asjanelasverdes.com It's right next to the Arte Antiga museum.

Or how about the Pousada at the palace in Queluz? No view of the water, but a nice place. http://www.pousadas.pt/historic-hote...ages/home.aspx It was recently renovated, I believe.
