The My Rainbow Rooms are Lisbon's finest gay men's guesthouse and only accept male guests. You live centrally in Saldanha, within walking distance of the metro and with two stations directly in the queer nightlife district of Príncipe Real. Lovingly designed rooms, a relaxed breakfast and a warm host team make the house a popular meeting place for the community.
My Story Hotel Ouro is housed in an 18th-century building in the heart of the historic Baixa, just a stone's throw from Rossio and the Elevador de Santa Justa. From here you can quickly reach the queer nightlife of Bairro Alto, but during the day you can easily explore the sights of the lower town on foot. Stylish rooms and a cosy bar round off the stay.
The Late Birds sees itself as an urban gay resort for men in the middle of historic Bairro Alto. Behind the quiet façade, an outdoor pool, a green garden, a sun deck and a lounge bar await you - a small refuge from which you can reach all the bars, clubs and saunas of the scene in less than ten minutes. Chiado and Príncipe Real are right next door.
Gay hotels in Lisbon are best located near Príncipe Real, the center of the gay scene. If you live here, you have bars, cafés and shops right on your doorstep and don't need a taxi ride across the city to get home after a long night. The adjacent Bairro Alto and the area around Avenida da Liberdade are also well suited, from where the trendy districts and the city centre can be reached quickly.
You are not limited to a few houses. Lisbon is open, and gay-friendly accommodation can be found in almost all central districts, from the Baixa down the river to the Chiado and Alfama with its narrow streets. In most hotels, no one looks funny when two men book a double room. Which location is worthwhile depends on what you have in mind: If you are looking for nightlife, stay close to Príncipe Real, if you are mainly planning sightseeing, you will be centrally accommodated in the Baixa or Chiado. Note that the city is built on hills and some paths lead steeply uphill. If your visit falls during the Pride weeks in June, book early, then the central houses are quickly full. The following selection will help you find the right location.
