I spent four nights here last week. Beautiful riverside location and stunning hotel design. Our deluxe room faced the marina and we could see the Belem Tower in the distance. It's a busy tourist area with people walking along the waterfront to the Tower. Our second floor room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. The food on property was excellent. The room service menu had many of the same dishes on offer as the restaurants and outdoor bar on the main floor. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp Caesar salad. We ate one night at the one Michelin starred Feitoria restaurant, located on the main floor, and had tasting menus with wine pairings. This meal was just phenomenal and I highly recommend it. The food and service was spot on. (As an aside we also ate on this trip at the two Michelin starred Alma and I highly recommend that as well!)

I am Titanium Elite and was offered a welcome gift (local pastries and sweets). Breakfast was included in our rate and consisted of a decent buffet in the main floor restaurant. It had a nice outdoor seating area overlooking the marina which made for a very nice way to enjoy breakfast

Belem is about a 15-20 min Uber ride to the historical central part of Lisbon, and we did do that round trip a few times, but we split our stays with a few nights in Belem then two different hotels in central Lisbon. Belem is more relaxed and gave the stay more of a Mediterranean vibe. It's also only a ten minute walk to Pasteis de Belem, which is the city's go-to spot for those delicious Portuguese custard tarts (worth standing in line for!)
