Best hotels in Lisbon

Opened in 2015 following a loving restoration of an 18th-century building, this four-pearl boutique beauty from Spanish group H10 Hotels strikes that sweet spot between historic charm and modern polish. Designed by Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the interiors are a masterclass in contemporary Portuguese style – think blue-and-white azulejo tiles depicting historic scenes, whitewashed wooden ceilings, glossy parquet floors and creative lighting. With 89 elegant rooms, Restaurant Azul e Branco serving Mediterranean-Portuguese fusion, the intimate Equestre library bar, and the stunning Limão Rooftop Bar on the 10th floor with panoramic views over Lisbon and the Tagus Estuary, it's sophisticated city living done properly. The location on leafy Avenida Duque de Loulé puts you metres from Praça Marquês de Pombal and that grand boulevard Avenida da Liberdade.
