This centrally located 4-star was built in the 1950s, with much of the interior the work of renowned Portuguese designer Graca Viterbo, and it has benefited from a recent renovation. Although there are 94 rooms and 12 suites, the Lisboa Plaza's cosy lobby makes it feel much smaller with smooth and friendly service reinforcing the impression.
