NICE HOTEL IN BAIRRO ALTO IN LISBON

Today I wanted to recommend a really nice Gay hotel in Bairro Alto in Lisbon.

THE HOTEL ANJO AZUL,

Bairro Alto is the Gay neighborhood in Lisbon. Similar to "The Marais" in paris or "Chelsea" or "The Village" in New York, or Sitges just south of Barcelona. The great thing abouth this hotel is that all the bars and restaurants are within walking distance. Below is a short "blurb" from their site. If you visit Lisbon, I highly recommend it. I had the chance to visit and was presently surprised.

The Hotel Anjo Azul is located in the middle of the historical heart of the city of Lisbon, in one of its most typical neighborhoods, Bairro Alto, and in a pleasant street, famous for having been the great poet Fernando Pessoa's last home.

Near the most famous monuments and Lisbon's favourite diversion places, that have converted the neighborhood in the centre of the Portuguese capital night-life, you can then find the Hotel Anjo Azul, easily recognizable by its XVIII century facade, covered with typical portuguese blue tiles.

It is therefore located near Praça do Rossio (Rossio Square) and has access to all types of transport - bus, underground, train - for the whole city and surroundings as well as to railway stations that connect Lisbon to the North and South of Portugal.

We are about five minutes walking distance from fluvial station, with ferry-boats available to Barreiro, Seixal and Almada (Costa da Caparica beaches). Lisbon's international airport is at a distance of about 20 minutes.

Also nearby the former EXPO 98 recint, now renamed as "Parque das Nações" (All Nations Park), "Torre de Belém" (Belem's Tower) and "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos" (Jeronimos' Monastery), among others.
