Not exactly near the airport (AFAIK there is no hotel really near the airport) but there are many many hotels in the financial district. You can reach this area the easy way with the Aerobus (every 20 minutes, tickets are ~3€). There are three bus stops in this area (Campo Pequeno (Metro), Av. Republica and Saldanha (Metro)). Taxi should be ~10€ per way. You´ll find a good hotel-overview on http://www.hrs.com

Bumping this thread to see if there are any updates since the last post was 2008.
People seem to say that the Hotel Star Inn (and maybe the Melia Aeroporto also) is walking distance from the airport terminal.
What about the Holiday Inn Express?
We'd be arriving from MAD on IB, if that makes a difference, around 11pm.

Star Inn is 'cheap and cheerful' but perfectly adequate for a crashpad, Melia is a more upmarket brand though I have not stayed there
HIX is considerably further away (~2km) about 5-7 minutes in a cab.
If you're connecting out of LIS the following morning Melia or Star Inn are ideal, if Lisbon is your final destination then I'd just get a taxi/rideshare to your city-centre hotel

There is a Holiday Inn Express a short distance north of the terminal (not really walkable IMO) that had complimentary shuttle service when I stayed there a few years ago for a short night with an early AM departure.
I am staying at the Melia in a couple of months for one night in transit. I have not stayed there before but have driven past. As mentioned, it is very close - basically a block away from the terminal, across the street from the parking garage. Of course you will pay more for that convenience.

Frustratingly, neither the Melia nor the Star Inn seem to allow two adults and one child in one room. Is the Holiday Inn Express different? Seemed like it had a couch in the picture of the room I saw online.
edited to add: Star Inn does allow it but it can't be booked online. They say they will charge €20 extra for the child when we arrrive, which seems reasonable. Breakfast is included for everyone in the rate online anyway.

Lisbon airport is on the train line. Anything a couple of stops along the train line is fine. Follow it to the coast - that;s where we stayed (sorry, cannot remember the name of the place!) there were loads of hotels, really nice area. 10 mins to the airport.

True, but for landing at 2300 with a child, nothing beats stumbling across the street five minutes walk away to get to bed as soon as possible. For the rest of our LIS stay we are staying elsewhere in the city…

Oriente is 3 stops on the Metro and presumably the area referred to by the user above, right next to the Tagus estuary. There's another Melia, a Moxy, a Tivoli, Eurostars and an Ibis near to the station and assorted non-branded options.

having travelled with children from few months old and upwards, I understand what you are saying but instead of dragging them for a 10 minutes walk to the Melia or similar, I would rather grab a Bolt (sub. €10) to the Corinthia just less than 15 minutes away at that time (20-25 during the day /with traffic).

All in all, it was a very good place for the price and clean and convenient. We’d do it again if we arrived late at night.

Corinthia’s not in our price range — looks like over $1k/night! Actually our son enjoyed the Star Inn and appreciated his own area of the L-shaped room with the extra bed. He especially liked the buffet breakfast.
