The Hotel Anjo Azul, Lisbon's first gay hotel, opened in 1998. From the blue-tiled exterior to the fantastic location, the Azul is right on the money. And they've kept the same affordable rates, which vary by type of room and not by season. Right on!
The 20 rooms are looking downright spiffy and feel completely fresh. Each is individually decorated with looks that run the gamut from sleek and modern to cutesy and sweet. Artistic (and revealing) photographs of Polynesian men cover the walls throughout. Subtle and not-so-subtle phallic artwork, made of anything from twigs to ceramic to glass, peppers the nightstands. Some rooms open to balconies. Request ahead. Ground floor rooms open to a small patio.
Bathrooms also benefit from the splashy interior design, with glass basins, stone tile work, and the occasional chrome massage showers.
But best of all, the Anjo Azul is friendly and laidback—openly welcoming gay and straight customers alike. We loved friendly Miguel who manages the place and happens to have the same name as the owner.

About the Hotel Anjo Azul neighborhood
To the west of Baixa, the Bairro Alto twists up a mountain, Its moody, evocative streets are bordered by steep stairways and winding alleys. The Bairro Alto is desperately beautiful, with its organic mixture of the hip, rustic, and picturesque. Fairly recently reborn as a trendy 'hood, the Bairro Alto is crowded at night thanks to hot clubs, bars, and restaurants. Between Bairro Alto and Baixa is the sloping neighborhood of Chiado. Full of cafes, museums, pricey boutiques, and theatres, Chiado is the sophisticated older sibling of Bairro Alto. It's not quite as stunningly, edgily gorgeous as Bairro Alto, but it's still charming in its more ordered way.
