Does anyone know anything about or recently stayed at the Moxy Lisbon City? What category it is? It’s not bookable online for some reason.
Note that this is a different hotel from the Moxy Lisboa City Oriente.

I researched quite a bit and decided Fontecruz is a better option for 7 nights in December over Sheraton Lisboa. Location and room rate are the main factors with Fontecruz being centrally located within easy walking distance to most tourist sights and $165 for Fontecruz vs $198 for Sheraton. I'll get breakfast at either hotel as Titanium, and $35 per night buys the drinks and food I'd want for appetizers that a Club offers. It's interesting that Fontecruz would be 300,000 points vs 195,000 points for 7 nights.
Sheraton Porto is still my best option even though location is not ideal.

Best hotel for a birthday?
Any suggestions which hotel to choose for a long weekend in Lisbon to celebrate a significant birthday? I wonder which hotel is most welcoming to a platinum birthday boy with spouse. Cheers!

I'm at the Moxy Lisbon City currently which is fun, has a pool, and is full of 20/30-somethings. It's a bit too budget for a special occasion, though (and the rooms are small).

I normally stay at the Sheraton which is perfectly located for what I need to do. Have done the Fontecruz in the past and I really enjoyed it but I know for sure they don't have a lounge and I don't remember their breakfast offering at the time.
Thanks,

Did you mean that the CDC card won’t be accepted by this hotel? How about the antigen test (within 48 hours of departure) taken before heading to Portugal?

This is very helpful. I will try to schedule antigen test in US as late as possible before my departure to LIS.
I have a digital version of CDC card from Virginia Department of Health with QR code. Do you think that it might be accepted by the hotel?

i would just convert your CDC card to a Swiss pass online now and save yourself the hassle. Worth the $35 imo even if you use it once or twice.

I am also curious about this hotel. I'll likely make another short trip over to LIS later this month and see this property showing up in searches now with a decent rate. Do they have a lounge? Where is breakfast offered for elites that qualify? Anything for evening hors d'ouevres or drinks?

In Sept 2021, they weren't accepting the CDC card. Not sure about now. Here are the testing requirements (again, as of Sept 2021):For Non-European:

For example, a guest staying at a hotel for a week would require at least 3 PCR tests throughout their stay in order to remain at the hotel.
