Hotel Anjo Azul (Blue Angel)

Frommer's Review

This is the only hotel in Lisbon that markets itself to a gay clientele, although heterosexual clients also check in and are welcome. Set on a narrow street in the Bairro Alto, a short walk from such well-recommended gay or mixed bars as Portas Largas and Frágil, it occupies a narrow, much-renovated 18th-century town house that retains many of its original blue-and-white tiles. Don't expect luxury or even an elevator -- just clean but small and exceptionally simple rooms, and a thoughtful and helpful staff well versed in the advantages of the surrounding neighborhood. No meals of any kind are served, there's no bar on-site, and none of the rooms has a private phone or other amenities such as a TV. But the attractive, international, and worldly clientele, many of whom return for second and third visits, don't really seem to mind.
