Frommer's Recommended

In the Alcântara district (next to the April 25 bridge), this modern hotel successfully blends the traditional and modern -- but with less flair than the Bairro Alto . Still, if you want a good location, a comfortable but affordable room, and a well-run hotel with a hospitable staff, consider checking in here. Bedrooms range from midsize to spacious, and are of a high standard, with sleek contemporary bathrooms with both shower and tub. Most of the rooms open onto views of the Tagus River and the bustling dockland area. Befitting the operatic name, the interior decoration is musically inspired, and its restaurant is named in honor of Falstaff. Though this is a rather sprawling hotel, personal service isn't overlooked.
