About the Hotel
Historic Castle Location
Solar Do Castelo is the only hotel inside the medieval walls of São Jorge Castle, in Lisbon's Alfama district. The 18th-century building stands on the site of the former Royal Palace kitchens. Peacocks from the castle often roam the hotel's courtyard.
Rooms with Castle Views
The 20 rooms feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and Molton Brown toiletries. Some rooms have views of the castle. Decor includes red velvets and heavy curtains inspired by the castle's medieval style. Bathrooms have showers or tubs.
Breakfast & Local Eats
Breakfast includes Lisbon's custard tarts, regional cheeses, smoked hams, and fresh fruit. Room service offers light meals like salads, sandwiches, and local cheese platters. The lounge bar serves drinks in a space with original stone walls.
Alfama District Access
The hotel is steps from Santa Luzia Belvedere, with views of Alfama's rooftops and the Tagus River. Nearby are the Sé Cathedral, Feira da Ladra flea market, and Portas do Sol viewpoint. The nearest metro station is a 10-minute walk.
Castle Village Experience
During June's Santo António festival, Alfama's streets fill with music, grilled sardines, and dancing. The hotel provides a computer and printer for guest use. The pedestrian-only castle walls make this location better suited for tourists than business travelers.
