Transiting Lisbon airport

We are traveling to and from France via Lisbon. We have a 3 hour layover on our way to Marseille, but on the way back to the US, the layover is about 14 hours. Our plan is to stay at an airport hotel. We are fully vaccinated and will have tested less than 72 hours before travel in both directions. Can you confirm that this plan is in compliance with Portuguese regulations. Thanks

Lisbon airport is very close to downtown so you do not need to stay at airport.

Your test within 72 hours should be fine.

And, as stated above, the airport is very close to town so there is no need to stay at an airport hotel. With 14 hours, you could potentially see a bit of Lisbon, have a nice meal and still have plenty of time to get back to the airport. The Orient/Parque das Nações area, while not old Lisbon, is maybe 10 minutes in a taxi or Uber. And, 2-3 stops on the metro.
