Xroomz is Lisbon’s city-centre answer to the roadside love motel: a discreet townhouse near Praça da Alegria with ten themed suites – from a cinema room to an airplane cabin – rented by the hour. Morning rates start at €20 per hour, and full 12-hour bookings of the showpiece suites run to about €140, so it covers everything from a quick escape to a full night.
Because it is steps from Avenida da Liberdade, it works without a car, which is unique in this category; couples arrive on foot like any other guesthouse visitors. Inside, the suites have premium TV, minibars and ambient sound, and the house kitchen delivers Indian and Italian meals to the room.
It is the obvious pick for couples staying in central Lisbon who want a few private hours without driving out to the motel belts of Loures or the south bank.
