The Best Lisbon Airport Hotels (with Shuttles)

Early flight, late arrival or a short layover? Lisbon’s airport is unusually close to the city, but sometimes it’s easiest to sleep right next to it. Here are the best Lisbon airport hotels, with shuttle information, plus a smart alternative a few metro stops away.

Quick answer: the closest are the Meliá Lisboa Aeroporto (with a free shuttle every 15 minutes from 4am and breakfast from 4am) and Star inn Lisbon Airport (a 5–10 minute walk to Terminal 1). For value, ibis Styles Lisboa Aeroporto (free shuttle). For more choice of restaurants, stay in Parque das Nações, a few stops away on the metro.

Do you need an airport hotel?

• Lisbon’s airport is close: about 20 minutes by taxi or 25–40 minutes by metro to the centre. For most flights, staying in the city is fine.
• Book an airport hotel for flights before about 8am, late-night arrivals or a short layover.
• Allow time for queues: the new EES border checks can mean long waits. See Portugal entry requirements.
