Principe Real is a fashionable area at the top of a moderately steep hill, about 10 minutes walk from the central areas of Lisbon. The advantage of this is that it is less touristy, with some great local shops and bars to take advantage of. The disadvantage is the walk up and down the hill - but there are several routes to explore, filled with different places to eat, drink or shop, and there is always the number 24 tram,or numerous buses, to get you back up the hill if you run out of energy. The hotel itself is located through a small driveway between shops - easily negotiable by all but the widest cars - and there in on site underground parking (at a cost, however). The modern design is quite striking nestled among the traditional shops, and the elevated location gives great views from the restaurant and outdoor bar and pool area, as well as most of the rooms. My room was located at the side of the building, but even so still commanded a nice view. A small verandah was unfortunately not accessible due to a door malfunction, and the room was overlooked by a neighbouring restaurant, which did affect privacy somewhat. The room was comfortable and stylish, if a little small (and with a luggage area that was cramped and difficult to open a large suitcase in); the bed very comfortable and the welcome treats delicious (including some local port and vouchers for the restaurant and bar - both of which were excellent). Staff were friendly and spoke great English (helpful given my very limited Portuguese!). Overall a very pleasant stay and I would stay here again - but perhaps request a forward facing room rather than one at the side or rear of the hotel.
