What makes The Late Birds stand out
The house is in a quiet alley between Bairro Alto and Santa Catarina. There are plenty of shared spaces: a breakfast room, lounge, piano bar, a wellness area and the “Oasis” with garden, pool and deck. There are explicitly no nude areas.
The Garden rooms have large wooden windows onto the garden, the suites more space. All rooms are booked as bed & breakfast, with the breakfast buffet included. With “Bird’s Eye”, the team puts together its own guide to the city’s bars, clubs, saunas and restaurants.
Atmosphere and crowd
By its own account, The Late Birds is aimed primarily at gay men but excludes no one: women and friends of the community are welcome, they just ask that you know the concept before booking. By the pool and in the lounge it is easy to get chatting with other guests.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a quiet retreat with a pool in Lisbon
- like guesthouses with a community feel
- want to reach Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real on foot
Not ideal if you …
- expect a nudist area
- are looking for a large full-service hotel
