The Vitange was a lovely stay for our week-long stay in Lisbon. It’s tucked away in a quieter part of town, but still a half hour downhill walk to the downtown waterfront. There are some amazing Portuguese and international dining options on the way along R. da Escola Politécnica and through Bairro Alto and we enjoyed walking back up hill after dinner for some exercise.
Our Deluxe Room on 2nd floor was neatly furnished with 2 beds as we requested and bright, with an open bathroom concept. The only downside of that was the increased humidity so we found ourselves switching between opening the window and turning on AC to get some fresh air in.
The restaurant on street level has a good sweet, savory and fresh fruit and yogurt breakfast spread with additional options of freshly cooked eggs, avocado toast, pancakes, açãi bowl, and great cappuccinos. We tried lunch there once too for convenience, but it is a little overpriced and you can get much better value for money in nearby restaurants.
The tiny rooftop bar has delightful views while shaded and misted when it’s hot.
The gym has only basic equipment (treadmill, spin bike, a few dumbbells and bench, and yoga mats), is impeccably clean and serves one person at a time, so it’s best to reserve in advance.
The hotel staff were all consistently lovely and helpful.
