Situated along the eastern edge of the Parque Eduardo, the three-star Hotel Miraparque is a full-service hotel. Rooms are well-equipped, tastefully decorated, and quiet. The rates aren't the cheapest in town, but the price is reasonable given the quality provided.
From the outside, the hotel's restored exterior is dignified and classy. The refurbished lobby is a modern mix of sleek wood paneling, a bronze sculpture, and watercolor prints. Reception is friendly and efficient. Though the setting is charming and quiet, this is not the ideal location for those planning to hoof it.
The Miraparque's 100 rooms are attractively fashioned in golds and reds. Handsome wooden headboards add a little muscle to the rooms, while deco-style light sconces add some flair. The white leather chair? Hey, it's modern. Bathrooms are marble tiled, equipped with tubs (except in singles) and provide counters large enough to store toiletries.
Half of the rooms look out to the park, while half face the street to the back (the Avenida António Augusta Aguiair). All are soundproofed and equipped with air conditioning. Additionally, all guestrooms have a small, separate entrance room, with door, to keep out noise from the hallway. That's a big plus.
A buffet breakfast is included and served in the hotel's gorgeous '60s-era breakfast room (love the mod chandeliers!). A prim and proper park-side restaurant serves traditional Portuguese meals at night.
