I love Tripadvisor.... as a result this hotel held few surprises !! Had I not read the reviews below I may have been somewhat disappointed with the Farol !! The hotel has undoubtedly a five star location..... and a some elements of the hotel are very good and aspire to 5 star but it's just NOT !! Firstly the good....... More

The hotel is beatifully situated which makes for great views when sitting outside whilst eating at their restaurant and also the rooms are very nicely decorated to a high standard. However, the hotel does let itself down and is challenged by a number of factors: - Poor maintenance - a number of the sun loungers are broken and so you... More

This is an absolutely gorgeous boutique hotel in an unbelievably beautiful setting. We booked a room with a "double sea view" and stayed in room 106. Really, the sea view was only visible through a large window in the bathroom or from the side terrace. But the view was amazing nonetheless. Our room was very quiet and our bed was... More

The lobby design in very contemporary with low sofas and a flat screen tv of a runway show looping 24/7. The staff was exceptionally helpful and the hotel is a short fabulous walk from the city center and marina. The sushi is some of the best I have ever had. I was disappointed by the rooms though. We had a... More

I had a standard room with a good bed but all the rest is unfortunately not quite up to a 5 star standard anymore. Even the breakfast was quite dull while I remembered it being outstanding a couple of years... More

I just stayed at the Farol Design Hotel with my husband for our 1st anniversary. We got married there a year ago and we went back this weekend. We had the Ana Salazar suite which is in my opinion the best room in the hotel. Amazing sea view straight from your bed! The hotel is quite small and the rooms... More

When in Lisbon you'll most likely also go to Cascais - a beautiful little fishing village a short train ride north of Lisbon. When you have walked the small coupled streets, enjoyed the sea view, you're probably hungry. So, instead of choosing one of the many (tourist) restaurants in the centre, take a short 10-15 minutes walk up hill to... More

Lucrecia and Frederico got married at this hotel..........wow!The design and decor of this hotel is really something.....very modern and ultra chic. The 5 course meal we had was superb. The bedroom decor was completely white....strikingly different and fresh. The wedding ceremony took place at the cliff edge overlooking the sea, this was breathtaking
