If you haven’t been to Portugal in a while you might be surprised at the explosion of new contemporary design that’s taken place there. Suddenly this classic, conservative town is full of striking avant-garde architecture and interiors. And that goes for the hotels as well — among the best of the new breed is the Fontana Park Hotel, right off Saldanha Square, in a rapidly improving district in the city’s north.
It’s a historical building, with interiors remade in a minimalist, monochromatic style, by the leading Portuguese architect Francisco Aires Mateus and the interior designer Nini Andrade Silva. It’s crisp but not cold, sleek but not alienating, proof that in capable hands the classic design hotel concept still has some mileage left in it.
Bedrooms are more modern-chic than traditionally luxurious, though they do come with standards like flat-screen televisions and platform beds, and the large windows admit plenty of sunlight. With over a hundred rooms there’s space for plenty of paying guests, while the restaurants (the Portuguese-Mediterranean Saladanha Mar and the Japanese-themed Bonsai) make the Fontana Park’s inventive design available to short-term visitors as well. Not to be missed: the courtyard garden, a city-center shelter complete with bamboo trees and gurgling waterfall.

What I liked:
The hotel is well located, the beds are so comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious.
Matilde at the front desk was amazing. We only had 24 hours in Lisbon, and she told us about fashion night and what to see and do in Lisbon. We had the best 24 hours thanks to her great advice.
The hotel exceeded our expectations. It was easy to get to and from the airport, we had a great night's sleep, and we had a fabulous time in Lisbon - thanks to Matilde and the staff at the Fontana Park Hotel who went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay in their city.
I was thinking of staying at the airport as we had a quick stop over, but getting to and from the hotel is easy on the metro or the bus. Great decision to stay at the Fontana Park hotel!
What the hotel could do better:
The hotel was great.
