Solar do Castelo, one of Lisbon’s most emblematic hotels and part of the Lisbon Heritage Hotels collection, has been distinguished in the prestigious “2025 Top 25 Historic Hotels Worldwide Most Romantic Hotels” list by Historic Hotels Worldwide. This recognition celebrates the world’s most romantic historic destinations, offering guests a unique and unforgettable experience.
Nestled within the walls of São Jorge Castle, in the heart of Lisbon, Solar do Castelo stands out for its intimate and historic atmosphere. Built in the 18th century on the site of the former Royal Palace kitchens, this boutique hotel combines the charm of Pombaline architecture (typical architecture from the Marquês do Pombal period, that was responsible for Lisbon’s reconstruction after the massive 1955 earthquake and tsunami that hit Portugal) with all the contemporary comforts today’s travellers expect.
“This distinction is a recognition of our team’s dedication to providing a welcoming and authentic experience, faithful to our historic roots. It’s even more gratifying because Solar do Castelo had previously been distinguished by Travel + Leisure as one of the 50 Most Romantic Hideaways in the World”, highlights Diogo Laranjo, General Manager of Lisbon Heritage Hotels. The inclusion in this 2025 list reinforces Solar do Castelo’s commitment to keeping Lisbon’s history alive while providing unforgettable moments for its guests, whether they are enjoying romantic getaways, honeymoons, or special celebrations.
Historic Hotels Worldwide is an international organisation that recognises the best historic hotels around the globe, celebrating their role in preserving the cultural and architectural heritage of each destination.
