Located directly on Praça dom Pedro IV, the classy Hotel Metropole is most definitely a splurge. However, low season prices—in super hot August and in the dead of winter—offer a chance for the Cheapo to relish in refinement for reasonable rates.
Opened in 1917, the five-story Metropole still maintains its classic style.
The hotel is elegant and refined, yet small and quiet. The lovely lounge, lobby, and bar are furnished with original antiques and look out onto the square's fountain. Television afficionados will apprecite the large, flat-panel TVs. Bookworms will appreciate the doors that cordon off the TV lounge, leaving the rest of the area blissfully quiet.
Of the 36 rooms, 16 have views of the Praça. All are uniquely decorated with attractive furniture and a subtle "Golden '20s" decor. However, rooms are not over the top. Don't be expecting luxury, just an elegant take on standard hotel fare.
The extensive services and amenities are impressive for a hotel of this size. And the staff, particularly the management, is attentive and amicable.
The Metropole is part the Hoteis Alexandre Alameida, a family-owned chain that includes four other hotels in Portugal.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Metropole neighborhood
The grid-shaped Baixa neighborhood was completely rebuilt following Lisbon’s devastating 1755 earthquake. Today the area functions as the city's chief shopping area, offering everything from boutiques to tourist traps. Two large streets, rua Augusta and rua de Santa Justa, are pedestrian-only thoroughfares. Baixa is an easy jumping-off point for seeing the rest of the city. Praça Rossio, sitting at the top of Baixa, is the city's most active square. At the base of Baixa is the Praça do Comércio, a square of wide arcades adjacent to the river.
