At a glance
Tivoli Avenida Liberdade opened in 1933 as the first Tivoli hotel in Lisbon and remains the city’s longest standing five star address.
The actress Beatriz Costa, one of the leading figures of Portuguese cinema’s golden age, lived at the hotel for over thirty years, and her presence is honored today in a suite that carries her name and her own collection of period furniture and photographs.
The hotel sits on Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon’s grand boulevard of theaters, fashion houses, and embassies, with Rossio, Baixa, and Chiado all within walking distance.
The hotel has 264 rooms including 77 suites. The Signature Style rooms, recently renovated, draw on the hotel’s 1930s and 1950s history, with Portuguese craftsmanship and artwork carried through the interiors rather than treated as decoration. A semi-tropical garden surrounds the outdoor pool, providing a quiet center to a hotel positioned in the busiest part of the city.
Highlights
- Lisbon’s first five star hotel, open since 1933
- SEEN by Olivier rooftop restaurant and bar
- Anantara Spa and pool in a semi-tropical garden
Accommodation
Rooms
Standard rooms come in several categories depending on outlook, with options overlooking the inner courtyard and pool garden, Avenida da Liberdade itself, or Lisbon’s downtown rooftops.
All rooms include a flat screen TV, a work desk, air conditioning, a safe, a full minibar, a Nespresso machine, bathrobes, and slippers, with bathrooms fitted in PortusCale toiletries.
The renovated Signature Style rooms incorporate Portuguese art and craftsmanship from the hotel’s defining decades, giving each room a stronger sense of place than a standard city hotel interior.

Executive Suites cover around 64 square meters with a separate living area and city or avenue views.
The Beatriz Costa Suite, at 77 square meters with a balcony over the avenue and the Tagus River, is decorated with pieces from the actress’s own collection.
Presidential Suite
The Presidential Suite covers 270 square meters on the seventh floor, with a separate living room, dining room, and cooking area, furnished with pieces from the Ricardo Espírito Santo Foundation and the Milly Possoz Collection.

Food & Drink
SEEN by Olivier
The hotel’s rooftop restaurant sits on the top floor with Art Deco styling and panoramic views to the Tagus River. Chef Olivier da Costa’s menu blends Mediterranean and Japanese influences, doubling as one of Lisbon’s most established nightlife spots with cocktails and a DJ.
Cervejaria Liberdade
The hotel’s second restaurant focuses on Portuguese seafood, including oysters from the Algarve coast and the traditional pica-pau steak with a modern touch.
Lobby Bar and Sky Bar
The Lobby Bar runs through the day with piano music and afternoon cocktails. The Sky Bar sits on the rooftop alongside SEEN, with a guest only Pool Bar operating through the summer.
Spa & Wellness
The Anantara Spa follows the Thai wellness brand’s philosophy, with a full menu of massages, holistic rituals, and beauty treatments, a sauna, and dedicated couples’ treatment suites.
The Shape Fitness Club is a fully equipped gym with a boxing section and personal training available on request. The outdoor pool sits within the semi-tropical garden, offering one of the only true garden settings on Avenida da Liberdade.
Portugal
Portugal runs on Central European Time, one hour ahead of the UK and six hours ahead of the East Coast of the US. The country is small enough that domestic travel between Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve is straightforward, by road, rail, or short-haul flight, with no meaningful time zone complications on multi-region itineraries. Tipping is less embedded in Portuguese culture than in the US.
Our Experts
If you like food, surfing or simply sightseeing, Portugal is somewhere you just have to visit. I personally adore Lisbon for its booming culinary scene and colourful backstreet bars and cafes.
Porto is my absolute favourite place in Europe and I've been too many times to count. It's super-inclusive and is also perfectly paired with a trip to Morocco.
We dined, drank and danced our way through Porto and Lisbon to ring in the New Year.

Fantastic hotels in Porto and the Douro Valley, and the Ribeira food experience simply blew us away.

We called Out of Office after hours trying to book Portugal ourselves, and our first day in Lisbon began with an exceptional food tour.

A Luxury Journey Across Portugal & Morocco
Tailor-made VacationLisbon and Marrakech sit less than three hours apart by air, close yet distinct enough that each feels like its own trip. Ten days move from the ease and elegance of Lisbon, with its candlelit restaurants, hilltop viewpoints, and some of Europe's most architecturally distinctive boutique hotels, to the heat, color, and sensory depth of Marrakech, where one of the world's great palace hotels waits behind its ancient medina walls.

Madeira: The Ultimate Portuguese Island Adventure
Tailor-made VacationMadeira offers terrain that few European islands can match: ancient rainforest, volcanic peaks, and dramatic cliff edges where the Atlantic drops away hundreds of meters below. With levada channels threading through landscapes that predate the ice age, it sits in a different category from most European islands. A week here covers a lot of ground and still leaves you with reasons to come back. The days move with intention.
