Why we picked this hotel
Look Living gives you the space of a Lisbon apartment without losing the part of hotel stays that makes travelling easy. The apartments are huge, the team is close by, and having a proper Portuguese restaurant downstairs means independence never turns into inconvenience.
Hotel description
Between the Tagus and Bairro Alto, Look Living gives you the rare luxury of real space in central Lisbon. Behind a restored historic façade on Rua da Boavista, generous apartments come with proper kitchens, separate living areas and soundproofing, making it easy to retreat from the city without ever feeling far from it. Spend the morning walking to the river, Bica and Time Out Market, return for an afternoon in your own living room, then head downstairs for Portuguese cooking at Intenso before another evening out. It suits couples, families and groups who want Lisbon on foot, but prefer the independence and comfort of an apartment over a conventional hotel room.
Hotel location
This is great
Proper space to live in
Starting at 65 m², the apartments give you enough room to unpack, cook and relax without your luggage becoming part of the furniture.
Kitchens you can actually cook in
An oven, dishwasher, stovetop, microwave and proper cookware make the kitchenettes genuinely useful rather than decorative additions beside the minibar.
A restaurant when cooking loses its appeal
Intenso serves Portuguese food from breakfast through dinner, so apartment independence never means having to fend for yourself every night.
The Loft earns its balcony
The 75 m² top-floor studio adds private outdoor space with city and river views, making it our pick for couples.
Families can properly spread out
The two-bedroom categories reach 110 m², with the largest adding two bathrooms rather than making everyone share one.
Quiet despite being in the middle of things
Soundproofed apartments make a real difference when Rua da Boavista, Cais do Sodré and Bairro Alto are all so close.
Our take on the stay
The luxury here is really the amount of room you get. Even the smallest apartment is 65 m², so after a day climbing Lisbon’s hills you come back to somewhere you can genuinely spread out, cook, eat and settle into.
