Rooms

The hotel’s 182 rooms (including 14 suites) are a masterclass in contemporary cool. Each space comes with air con, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs for those Netflix binges after a day of exploring. Wake up to Parque das Nações views, or upgrade for stunning Tagus River panoramas—way better than the usual car park view. The Junior Suites even give you a plush living room and sofa bed for the kiddo or your mate who always "forgets" to book their own room. Bathrooms come with all the essentials, from fluffy towels to magnifying mirrors (so you can perfect that beach selfie).
