The 10 Best Hotels in Lisbon, Portugal to Book Right Now - AFAR

"Set in an 18th-century palace on Rua das Janelas Verdes opposite the National Museum of Ancient Art, this small property preserves historic character without feeling stuffy. Sixteen uniquely decorated rooms range from wood-paneled suites with carved-stucco ceilings to a former chapel lined with original hand-painted azulejos; the hotel’s three tiered courtyards culminate in a highest level with a small heated outdoor pool shaded by a majestic palm and offering distant Tagus views. The residence’s storied past (notable historic guests) and proximity to major art collections make it especially appealing to culture-minded travelers." - Laura Dannen Redman
