    An absolute must do if you're in Lisbon! We spotted this quite spectacular tower whilst on our open top bus trip and when the commentary told us it was a 5 star hotel with an excellent outdoor terrace, we stayed on the bus, went round again and got off when we arrived here the second time!! We weren't disappointed.....this is a fabulous place and if the plush reception area is anything to go by, then the rest of the hotel must be amazing! We stopped with the intention of just having a drink on the terrace overlooking the river Tagus, which was indeed spectacular; we ended up having the most amazing afternoon tea there instead, and spent a good couple of hours at this wonderful place. I've had afternoon tea in venues all over the world, and I have to say that this was one of THE BEST EVER! At 44 Euros FOR 2 (i.e. 22 Euros per person) it was the most extraordinary value and also included tea/coffee and a glass of wine each. All the staff were wonderful (special thanks to Bruno) - very kind, attentive and pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for them. The ambience on the terrace was modern and exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the traffic traverse across the nearby Vasco da Gama bridge which in itself is a magnificent feat of engineering. This was one of our most favourite experiences of our 4 night trip to Lisbon, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

    The tower is one of the main attraction of this modern neighborhood. The area is very nice to walk along the river, nice view over a huge bridge, very chill atmosphere, lot shadows with trees, lot of restaurants. A completely different feeling than the old Lisbon, we enjoyed visiting the area by walk. Easily accessible by metro.

    Apparently this is the tallest 'building' in Portugal? At the top there is a natural vertical garden, a rooftop bar called Babylon 360° and you have 360° panoramic views of Lisbon and a great view of the Vasco da Gama bridge. You can just sit and admire the view with a 🍸!

    Not really great experience. Views over the city are great and unique as this is the tallest building in the area. Went around lunch time, in a very hot day. Difficult to enjoy without AC. Could not wait to go down, and only stayed because paid £10 to go up and wanted to make it worthwhile.

    Beautiful to see, also for the environment. It is reachable also via tele cabin. Absolutely recommended. If you can also stay in the hotel inside, it is even better...The bridge, vety close, is amazing.

    Great ambience and a good view of the Lisbon skyline. During day time, people can climb up to the roof for thebview of the city, while at night, the roof turns into a nice cocktail bar with a stunning view.

    This is a complete scam and a divorce of people. When we bought tickets on their website, money was debited from me, but the ticket did not come to the post office. I called them on the phone and they said that I should write them a letter about it and come with payment confirmation and that they would certainly let us in. OK When we arrived, we were told that no one knew anything and in general we should buy a ticket for 15 euros, not 10 euros. There is no such option on the site at all! OK. Return the money ! They say no - you can come later within a month, but now they won't let us in - they have a "dress code". What's the dress code? There is nothing on the site about it! But they say, and point to the wall with a finger where some piece of paper hangs. With us, they didn’t let another tourist in - something didn’t suit them in his clothes either. The result - money was spent that no one returned, time wasted and the mood was spoiled. By the way, there is no book of complaints. The law does not dictate to them. Don't waste your time and money!

    They still don't have a bar so the only way to have the panoramic view is going to the fancy restaurant.

    Must see....Hotel looks great! Amazing bar at the top of the tower.!! This is absolutely a "must see"... with its interior vertical circular Garden and continuous Windows around the perimeter. Definitely a must for a romantic stop! Cuddle up on the couches with a blankie they provide for you or enjoy a seat along the perimeter bar and enjoy the view. You can walk around the whole entire top part!! Great interior lighting excellent atmosphere.

    Great view but far too expensive. Don't recommend to have a drink for 16.50€. Staff is friendly but not attentive at all and don't maintain the place you would expect ( like wiping the table after guests leave their glasses etc)

    Nice place with a nice 360° view over Lisbon but the price of the drinks are too high and there was a smell of toilets upstairs which has impacted the overall experience

    Turned away just because I had camo trousers on. Was only going for a quiet drink and spend a little money with my wife. Super pretentious if you ask me and I would never return here.

    We didn’t go inside. But the tower is very impressive from the outside too. Looks very luxurious. If we are ever visiting Lissabon again, maybe we’ll look for a stay inside

    Imposing building that stands out along the shore of Tejo with sinuous lines halfway between Dubai's Burj Arab and Portsmouth's Spinnaker tower.
