My highest compliments to Bruno and his wonderful staff who run The Altis Belém Lisbon. It is a beautiful contemporary hotel, situated in cultural Belém, situated right on the Tagus River estuary Lisbon. This hotel has a fabulous contemporary stylish design with the most stunning rooms and facilities with views to die for. I have stayed at this wonderful hotel many times and am always astounded at how special a place it is to stay whilst visiting the great city of Lisbon. I choose to stay in the Altis Belém mainly because its staff are so friendly, kind and helpful and mostly because this hotel offers very large, airy, beautiful spacious rooms with stunning views of the river Tagus and Belém, with easy transport access to downtown Lisbon and is a short hop by taxi to the airport. All the Hotel rooms have gorgeous spa bathrooms, electric blinds and windows and wooden floors. large beds, with air-conditioned cool decor. The attention to detail in this design hotel is a must to be seen. Bruno the Manager and the staff are so helpful and will assist with any issue. I have a serious lung condition staff always ensure my room is set up with Hypoallergenic bedding which for me is lifesaving. I can open doors and windows for fresh air. Any request the staff are happy to assist, with e.g. ice in your room, spare pull out bed for children, booking taxis, going to a match, shopping in El Cortez Ingles (the hotel will organise complementary taxi to the Department store for clients) , Columbo shopping Centre, markets, Galleries, etc. the excellent Manager Bruno and his staff will gladly assist, We were even upgraded to a stunning suite . Also, there is a stunning roof top swimming pool to relax in with 360-degree views. The views are literally out of a James Bond movie, the roof top offers the best views of Belem tower and the bridge and Jesus The redeemer etc. For those not brave enough to swim in the roof top infinity pool there is also another beautiful spa with gym and swimming pool in the basement and it is heavenly to take a dip in the candlelit pool after a day sightseeing The breakfast is wonderful and always is one of our favourite parts of our stay, as the breakfast room looks out onto the harbour and Belem tower. It’s truly a family friendly hotel, our daughter has always been treated so kindly by staff. After a day trekking around Lisbon, the Altis Belem is a fabulous spacious hotel to return to soak up its atmosphere, with a terrace bar, note the views in the hotel surrounds and bedrooms, by night are as stunning as they are by day. The location is the best in Lisbon. The suites are amazing and some even have hot tubs with spectacular James Bond river views , some of the Bond movies were actually made on the 25 de Abril Bridge with the imposing statute of the sanctuary of Christ the king on the Almada side of the Tagus river in view by day and night, that is your setting to wake up to every morning in the Altis Belém hotel . Belém houses two incredibly famous landmarks. The first is Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) and the second is Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) and you will also enjoy exploring the Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos) and the National Coach Museum and a host of other Museums and Art Galleries on your door step, the football stadiums, shopping districts and the castle district are a short taxi ride away and taxis are cheaper than in most European cities , they are as cheap as the local tram ride. Lx factory is a short walk along the Belem tram lines. Everything is on the doorstep of the Altis Belém Hotel, trams in Belem to downtown Lisbon, trains, shops even a McDonalds and a park with a playground beside the monastery for kids. There are endless walks and cultural institutions all within walking distance. All along the Tagus River front is stunning and great for anyone who likes to run or take an electric scooter, you have the azure Tagus River estuary as a bac drop. As the hotel is situated with views facing back to 25 de Abril Bridge, and Padrao dos Descobrimentos along the northern bank of the Tagus River and on the south to Belem Tower. It is truly one of the most stunning hotels in Europe. Location, location, location is everything. This hotel is a place to make magic moments, and thanks to the wonderful staff who make our stay magic time and time again, and that is why we return year after year. Note that everything is on the doorstep of this hotel, trams in Belem to downtown Lisbon, trains, shops even a McDonalds and a park with a playground beside Belem monastery for kids. There are endless walks and cultural institutions, restaurant’s all within walking distance. All along the Tagus River front is stunning and great for anyone who likes to run with the Tagus River estuary as a back drop or just relax in the roof top pool soaking up the sun. Note : 25 de Abril Bridge Several movies have been filmed on the bridge, some scenes in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service when James Bond is in a car driving across a bridge with Marc Ange Draco's henchmen, and at the end of the movie when Bond marries Tracy and drives across the bridge with her in Bond's Aston Martin, note .pedestrians cannot walk across the bridge, but every year there is a half marathon and there is an observation deck which was built allowing people to go to the platform.[11]
