The location means a lot when we choose a hotel. Tings Lisbon has the best.
Based on our vast travel experience we have an almost bullet proof definition of the perfect location for a hotel for travelers like us: We want to stay in walking distance from down town in a neighbourhood with a local life. And location is one of the most important elements for Tings Lisbon.
The idea behind this is obvious.
First: You don’t want to be in the hectic, all night noisy part of town.
Second: You don’t want to be too far away from the more touristic part of town with all the shops, cafes, restaurants etc.
Third: After a long day sightseeing or sunbathing at the beach you return to your hotel to relax for a few hours. Sometimes you don’t feel like going down town afterwards. You just want to go to a restaurant, bar, club etc close by, yet still feeling the vibe of the city .

Damas, as the name indicates, is run by two women who have both previously worked in some of the city’s well-known food institutions, including Chapito. The restaurant, bar and club has been popular pretty much since it launched in 2015, thanks to its combination of knowledgeable chefs, classic and not-so-classic dishes done well, and a regular music program that ranges from punk to afro-beats.
