Independente

Independente Principe Real Hostel & Hotel has 22 private suites and a selection of affordable shared dorms. Dorms with twelve, nine and six beds are mixed, and one nine bed dorm is female only. All offer access to one of the best viewpoints in the city: the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. Sandwiched between theatre hub Chiado and glorious Príncipe Real, Independente is bohemian in all the best ways. It doesn’t offer room service, nor a spa, gym or valet parking, but what you do get is breezy, attentive staff, an excellent happy hour, and quiet corners to work in, should you have to. Panoramic views stretch out across the city’s iconic rooftops to Alfama, Lisbon Castle and the river beyond, best enjoyed from the rooftop bar and restaurant, Insólito.
