In January, I went to Lisbon for a 3-day weekend trip. It was not enough time for this fabulous city. We stayed at the Sheraton Lisboa Hotel and Spa on a points and cash reservation. You can read my review of the hotel HERE.
I am a Gold SPG member, not based on stays but based on a credit card, the Platinum Amex Business Card. I had access to the hotel lounge as a result of the SPG Amex Business card. I was told at check-in that there was a charge to use the spa facilities, but that it was complimentary for me because of my Gold SPG status. Now, if only I had actually had time to use the Fitness Center and Spa, that would have been lovely. I only had two nights in Lisbon, and I went out running both mornings. But I nevertheless needed to visit the Fitness Center and Spa.
THE SPA
The spa is quite beautiful! Here are some photos.
FITNESS CENTER
The fitness center is equally impressive! It is clean, spacious and stocked with great equipment. So often I go to nice hotels and they have small or dismal gyms. Not so at the Sheraton Lisboa – it was fantastic! Here are some photos:
The Spa and Fitness Center at the Sheraton Lisboa are the kind of facilities that I long for, but rarely get. Run, don’t walk. Or walk, don’t run. It’s all good!

Seems nice – but spectacular?
Maybe it was spectacular compared to what I expected from the hotel. It was actually really nice. I’ll modify though.
