Historic family-run boutique hotel offering rooms with kitchenettes and hot tubs, a pool, and a tasty breakfast

Casa Balthazar: A Lisbon Sanctuary

Discover a tranquil escape in the heart of Lisbon at Casa Balthazar, a historic, adults-only hotel. Tucked away on a quiet side street, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Carmo Convent, which was once the grandest church in the city until its devastation in the earthquake of 1755, this remarkable building boasts a rich history. It has been lovingly maintained by the same family since 1829.

The hotel’s prime location, nestled between the vibrant Bairro Alto and the historic Alfama district, provides effortless access to Lisbon’s most captivating landmarks. Embark on a leisurely stroll to the magnificent Sé de Lisboa, the city’s cathedral, or journey to the imposing São Jorge Castle, both easily reachable within a 20-minute walk.

Each of the hotel’s rooms is a unique haven, thoughtfully blending modern aesthetics with the timeless charm of antique furniture and inviting hardwood floors, creating an atmosphere of cozy comfort. Reflecting the original structure of the house, every room possesses its own distinctive character. Select rooms offer the convenience of kitchenettes, while three boast expansive terraces complete with indulgent hot tubs, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the Lisbon cityscape. The views vary, some overlooking the serene inner courtyard and others framing stunning vistas of Lisbon, potentially including the majestic silhouette of São Jorge Castle.

The bathrooms are well-appointed, with options ranging from refreshing showers to luxurious bathtubs; some rooms feature both. Stylish encaustic or patterned tiles adorn the floors, adding a touch of elegance. While Casa Balthazar warmly welcomes guests aged 16 and over, its ambiance is particularly well-suited for couples seeking a romantic getaway or friends desiring a relaxing retreat.

Guests can unwind and rejuvenate by the small pool or in the charming courtyard, a peaceful oasis within the bustling city. Upon arrival, the attentive and welcoming staff will greet you with a complimentary glass of wine, setting the tone for a memorable stay. Enjoy a refreshing drink at the honesty bar. Although the hotel does not have its own restaurant, guests are treated to a delightful breakfast provided by Confeiraria Nacional, Lisbon’s oldest patisserie. This establishment, also owned by the same family and opened in 1829, ensuring a connection to the city’s culinary heritage.
