Our take
A historic building in Alfama, a spa and panoramic city views make Santiago de Alfama one of the most complete 5-star boutique stays in old Lisbon, rated 9.5 across 388 reviews. I would recommend it to couples and families who want São Jorge Castle within a short walk. Travellers who dislike steep, narrow streets may prefer a flatter, more modern district.
- Explore the Alfama district on foot early in the morning to experience its unique atmosphere before the crowds arrive.
- Take advantage of the hotel's spa facilities for a relaxing break after a day of sightseeing.
- Book a room with city views to fully appreciate the hotel's prime location and Lisbon's charming rooftops.

Why guests love itSão Jorge Castle a short walk away is the first thing I would mention to families looking at Santiago de Alfama, since the castle is one of the easiest outings with children in Lisbon. The hotel occupies a historic building in Alfama, with panoramic city views and air-conditioned rooms with modern amenities. The spa gives parents a quiet hour in turn. Alfama's streets are steep and narrow, so families with a stroller should pack a baby carrier as well.
