Hotel Metrópole

Description:

• With its enviable position overlooking Praça Dom Pedro IV in Rossio, this smart 3-star boutique property is an idea base for a sightseeing break. Positioned next door to the historic Café Nicola, the hotel dates from the early 20th century. Modernised in the 1920s and totally refurbished in 1993, the architectural style today can be best described as retro-revivalist. The 36 rooms are furnished with original period pieces and reproductions. Sixteen of them face the attractive and animated Rossio; the remainder have a less interesting aspect but are generally quieter. Comfortable and well appointed, all rooms have private bathrooms decorated with handmade tiles. Amenities include satellite TV, and Wi-Fi is available in the public areas. A buffet breakfast is included in the price. The hotel is very near bus and tram stops, and Rossio railway station which links the city with Sintra is practically round the corner. © NileGuide2011
