The Meliá has planted its design flagship on the Avenida da Liberdade, and the rooftop with panoramic pool justifies the detour on its own.
ME by Meliá Lisbon
From
388.8 €
“Rooftop with heated pool and cocktail bar facing the Parque Eduardo VII, open until midnight in season.”
ME by Meliá Lisbon occupies a glass tower on the Avenida António Augusto de Aguiar, a stone's throw from the Parque Eduardo VII. The rooms play the contemporary design card, neutral tones, padded headboards, grey marble bathrooms. The rooftop with heated pool and panoramic bar remains the real draw, clear views over the park and Lisbon's rooftops. The spa and gym are correct, without being memorable. Efficient service, business clientele during the week, design couples at weekends. From 389 € per night, rate justified by the location and the rooftop ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the ME to travellers seeking a design hotel with rooftop without falling into the narrow boutique-hotel trap. It's an address for thirty-something couples, shopping weekends on the Avenida, panoramic aperitifs, early morning departures to Sintra. Business travellers find their account there with the gym and proximity to Marquês de Pombal offices.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The ME by Meliá Lisbon occupies a contemporary glass and concrete tower, sober architecture typical of the 2010s. Signed design interiors, lobby with double height, light stone walls, Cassina furniture and indirect lighting. The rooms measure 28 to 45 m², generous volumes for Lisbon, floor-to-ceiling bay windows. The rooftop on the top floor concentrates the essence of the address's character.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The main restaurant offers a correct Mediterranean menu, without any particular signature, buffet breakfast service until 11am at weekends. The real rendezvous remains the rooftop bar, well-executed classic cocktails, tapas to share, DJ set on Friday evenings in season. Room service available 24/7, reduced menu after midnight. We come mainly for the setting, not for the table.
