Michelin Guide "A romantic feel and classic style."
Frommer's "Although York House Hotel is still the most atmospheric -- and certainly the most famous in its category in Lisbon -- this hotel is giving it serious competition and is almost its equal." Full review
Concierge "This 18th-century mini-palace was once home to famous local novelist Eça de Queirós, and you can easily imagine courting the muse as you wander through the public rooms here."
