Memmo Alfama
Memmo Alfama is a boutique hotel in Lisbon with a lovely rooftop pool bar in the picturesque and soulful Alfama.
Memmo Alfama is considered one of the best hotels in Lisbon, and it was the first boutique hotel to open in the city’s oldest neighbourhood, Alfama.
The hotel’s 42 bright and breezy rooms are inspired by a contemporary Nordic style with Portuguese touches.
Memmo Alfama is still a hidden treasure, tucked away in a maze of cobbled streets, featuring a red infinity plunge pool with a bar and glorious views over Alfama and the Tagus River.
This stunning boutique hotel has mastered the art of local integration, offering a truly authentic Lisbon you won’t forget.
Awesomeness
A small but perfectly formed infinity plunge pool does the job after a hot day exploring this hilly city.
Glorious views over Alfama’s famous rooftops and the Tagus River.
It’s in Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood with many cute narrow streets and famous Fado restaurants.
The complimentary guided walking tour through Alfama.
Bear in Mind
There isn't a formal restaurant on site, but they serve tasty Portuguese tapas.
There's no parking space on site, but the hotel has a deal with a parking lot nearby.
Rooms are on the small side, and so are most houses in Alfama. There are plenty of communal areas.
The hotel is for the exclusive use of people over 16.
No tea or coffee-making facilities in rooms.
Memmo offers glorious views over Alfama's Famous Rooftops.
Q&A with Rodrigo Machaz about Memmo Alfama
Memmo Alfama is a boutique hotel located in the heart of the most typical district of Lisbon, Alfama.
Memmo Alfama is located in the heart of the most typical district of Lisbon, Alfama – steps away from the Cathedral and the São Jorge Castle.
Don’t miss the hotel’s free one-hour guided walking tours, which wind their way through Alfama’s labyrinth of narrow streets. It’s a great way to discover its hidden secrets and our guide was truly passionate about it all.
Chiado (1km), Bairro Alto (1.8km) and Principe Real (2.1km) are easily reached by the iconic tram 28 and you can explore all the three neighbourhoods by foot (mind the cruel steep streets).
If the sun is shining head to Cascais and Estoril (28km) and enjoy its gorgeous sandy beaches and excellent restaurants.
We love wondering around romantic Alfama. Memmo Alfama hotel offers a complimentary guided walking tour.
To experience Fado we recommend A Baiuca (750m) where you can hear Fado Vadio style.

By Car
We highly recommend using the well served public transport and by foot but be ware that Lisbon is a city of steep alleyways and tricky cobblestones. Memmo Alfama is at the very end of the cobbled alley. Public parking near the hotel costs €15 a day, including valet parking (it’s best to drop your bags off at the hotel first).
