✨ Why Corpo Santo Hotel is My Lisbon Favourite ✨

When I stayed at Corpo Santo Hotel in Lisbon, I fell completely in love. 🏛️ The ancient ruins in the basement transport you back in time, while each themed floor tells its own unique story. And don’t even get me started on the 24/7 snacks available on every floor (yes, every floor!) and the cozy, welcoming lobby that feels like a home away from home.

This hotel isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. It’s my go-to recommendation for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Lisbon. Trust me, you’ll fall in love here too! 💕
