It’s quite unfortunate that Palácio das Especiarias was my first stopover in Portugal, because no other hotel after this has been good enough for me. Apart from its own unique charm, this hotel appears to spare no effort in hosting its guests with great generosity and goodwill. The two Carla’s are infectious with their cheerfulness, can-do attitude, humor and kindness and they set this tone throughout the hotel to make it a most pleasant and memorable stay.

What a magnificent stay! The property is beautiful and lends itself to a rich and historic moment in time. The staff is very warm and encourage you to enjoy everything they have to offer. Breakfast is accompanied by a pianist/violinist, and you have your pick of dining experiences as there are multiple dining rooms (one overlooking the patio, and the other facing the entrance street). On my first night I had the pleasure of attending an intimate Fado dinner in the dining room overlooking the patio with some of the most amazing artists. Everyday in the cellar there is unlimited complimentary wine from local vineyards offered from 3pm - 8pm, which you can enjoy in the cellar and attached lounge, out on the terrace, or even in your room. The spa has a huge jacuzzi as well as a dry sauna, showers and the masseuse, Rita, was great. My room was elegant and spacious and the bed was comfortable as well. It’s conveniently located 2 blocks from the Baixa-Chiado metro, as well as a bunch of trams, and about a 10min walk from Pink Street and Barrio Alto. There are ample food options, and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the night people watching on the promenade located on the corner. Truly a great stay, and just like a guest I met who has stayed there 4 times, I can not wait for my next stay at Palácio das Especiarias!!

Gorgeous hotel, beautiful well maintained historic palace home turned into a boutique hotel. Gorgeous relaxing patio where you can enjoy complimentary wine and cheese/olive/bread plates. Clean spacious room, great view of the city and glimpse of the water from our Juliette balcony. Complimentary Ginja cherry liquor and pastel de natas on check in. Staff all friendly and helpful, you can text with any needs. Great location in Chiado close to vibrant square with live musicians playing acoustic every night, walkable to shopping and restaurants and cafes. Tram stop walkable within less than a couple min where you can get on tram 28. Located on a Safe quiet side street off a cute square. We did a day tour of Sintra and Cascáis with their contracted driver, Bruno, who was wonderful! Highly recommend! Great price, flexible times, we customized the day to what we wanted and took our time with every historic sight (Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca, Boca do Infernó, Quinta de Regaleira). Don’t hesitate, book this hotel it was wonderful.
