Sleekly modern (yet still chill) in-room décor vibes perfectly with those low whistle-worthy Atlantic views.

We abide by the rule of 15: just 15km from the airport and 15 minutes to the centre of town.

Charming style and traditional décor embellish this elegant space.

Former fortress on a rocky outcropping over the Atlantic — it’s hard to get more dramatically cosy.

Each rooms’ sea views vibe perfectly with their light, beachy-boutique décor (and did we mention the private balconies?).

16th-century citadel meets modern art, design and comfort.

Spot-on address facing the city beaches and 30km from the centre – oh, and by the way, former home of the last King of Italy (Humberto II).

Black cats are unlucky. Brown ones? Ristorante Il Gattopardo offers auspiciously good Italian food complete with an alfresco terrace.

Between the free WiFi and super-close Lisbon Alcantara Station, you’re beyond well-connected.

An international breakfast buffet complete with Portuguese pastries.

Intimate and pretty little hotel near the Lapa district and just 10 minutes from the city centre.

You can say you stayed in the former building of the royal guards at the Palace of Queluz – the “Portuguese Versailles” is just across the street.

This 19th century palace is pure Old World opulence, with Louis XV furniture, crystal chandeliers and stunning stained-glass windows throughout.
