"Located in the heart of the Chiado neighborhood, this 87-room conversion of the former first Portuguese public radio station celebrates 19th-century explorers Roberto Ivens and Hermenegildo Capelo through thoughtful design by Lázaro Rosa-Violán and Cristina Matos—expect jungle-themed carpet, clusters of tropical plants, and staff in safari-khaki styling. The property’s signature restaurant, Rocco, serves authentic modern Italian fare alongside an Instagram-worthy cocktail bar, and the hotel is noted for an especially eye-catching bathroom. Rates begin around 55,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night, with both American Express Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards transferring 1:1 to Marriott Bonvoy." - Paul Rubio
