WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
We picked The Verse because it gives you the best of both worlds. You are on Rua de São Bento, perfectly placed for Príncipe Real, Chiado, and the river, but the stay itself feels like a calm, beautifully designed apartment you can actually live in.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
The Verse is a small aparthotel-style stay with 15 boutique apartments in a restored historic building on Rua de São Bento, a great spot between some of Lisbon’s best neighbourhoods. It’s not a classic “lobby and lifts” hotel. It feels more like having your own Lisbon apartment, just with the ease of a proper team behind it when you need anything. Each apartment is designed for comfort and practicality, with a proper setup for longer stays and a calm, uncluttered feel. There’s also a cocktail bar on-site when you fancy a drink close to home. Step outside and you are close to local cafés, small restaurants, and easy walks into places like Príncipe Real, Bairro Alto, Chiado and the riverside, without feeling like you are in the middle of the busiest tourist blocks.
Our take on the stay
Eliza
The Verse is a great pick if you like boutique hotels but prefer apartment comfort. It keeps the design and service, while giving you proper space.

São Bento, Lisbon
São Bento is one of those Lisbon neighbourhoods that feels residential in the best way. There are antique shops, small cafés, tiled façades, and a steady local rhythm that makes you feel like you’re part of the city rather than just passing through. It’s central, but never overwhelming. Right in the middle of it, The Verse offers a calm, design-led base that fits naturally into the area’s laid-back, creative feel.
