Not only is the location on point (in the historic district of Alfama), but this gem boasts killer rooftop & sea views.

Ultrafresh yet timelessly cosy, like a cocoon of sweet, refreshing dreams.

On the top 2 floors of the recently reno'd landmark Armazens do Chiado building. Be thee (& thy wallet) warned. Famed shopping district right outside.

Waterside café-and-shop-dotted Comércio Square is within easy reach on foot. As are many historic hotspots and primo museums.

Airy, modern rooms in neutrals and navy, kitted out with flat-screen TVs and free WiFi for posting all those enviable pics.

Elegant old style set in a funky neighbourhood populated with great shops and restaurants.

Gorgeously monochrome rooms make you feel like you’re living in a classy black-and-white photograph.

Contemporary interiors behind a historic façade, steps from Avenida da Liberdade.

Two words: free minibar. Three more: in-room Nespresso.

Old building, new face: a retouched facade using local materials to produce a shiny modern design.

Just steps from the Eduardo VII Park and close to public transportation for easy access to the entirety of Lisbon.

Rooftop pool & bar boast stellar views.

Bar de Baixo’s prime for a pre-stroll cocktail (or two). Or you could hit the terrace (it features a charming li’l heated pool & honesty bar).

Head up to the higher floors for some of the best river and city views in town.

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