"Opened in 2005 in an 18th-century, five-story yellow building at the junction of Chiado and Bairro Alto, this welcoming boutique hotel pairs historic charm with colorful, contemporary Portuguese design. Spacious rooms and suites mix classic touches (antique tubs, heated bathroom floors) with modern comforts and offer views over Largo do Camões and the River Tagus. A ground-floor patisserie serves fresh Portuguese pastries all day, and the rooftop bar and the terrace at the Bahr restaurant are celebrated sunset-cocktail spots. The hotel also offers a single-occupant rate aimed at business travelers and digital nomads." - Laura Dannen Redman
