Sheraton Lisboa
Club Level – 2 Doubles
Lisbon, Portugal
We took the metro from the Aeroporto to the Salamanda Metro station and walked the 3 blocks on the slight downhill grade to the hotel over tiled sidewalks. Courtesy of Google offline maps, it was easy to find.
The hotel has all the personality of an office drone building out of the Matrix movie series. It’s well situated for some, right across from the local KPMG office.
Once inside, it was a pleasant lobby with the usual Sheraton brown carpeting. Fresh flowers were on display in the lobby, which was a nice touch.
There was a darkish lobby bar that was attached to the hotel restaurant in a large open space.
It was a bit of slow check in as they manually typed in our passport information but we were lucky that our room was available at 12:30 PM. As a result we were able to get settled right away after that overnight flight.
We received a higher floor soft upgrade to a “”Club Level” room on the 22nd floor (out of 25) which was okay since we had booked a two double bed configuration and most suites have 1 single bed which would have meant sharing a bed with a teenager.
There was a small desk in the room which became the electronics drop zone.
Throughout the visit, we regularly visited the club lounge. The Club Lounge was located on the 24th floor. Access was through a key card at the door. There was no reception check on our stay. There was nothing like having access to a club lounge when it was thirty degrees outside and coca cola 300 ml bottles were 3 € each on high street. I was able to set WT73jr up here after a day of sightseeing and he would happily enjoy two or three of them along with happy hour snacks. Dad gets the house wine, jr gets sugary pops.
The lounge had pretty good views thanks’ to it’s high floor. At least it meant spending time up there pleasant.
The pool was a popular area. It wasn't all to modern and special but it fit the trick. It had sunshine all the way to 7 PM on the day of our visit and had quite a few tanned clients attending.
The hotel participates in Make a Green Choice, although admittedly, not many points are earned through that channel anymore.
The best way that I can describe this property is that it is a great value for elites. The property offered full breakfast in the restaurant downstairs as a platinum benefit (or in the lounge), a Sheraton Club on the 24thfloor that offered beverages and other snacks between 07-11 AM and 5-7 PM along with a high floor upgrade. Along with a super convenient location, that is reasonably close to town, I would easily stay here again under similar circumstances.
