The Best Hotels in Lisbon, From Bairro Alto to Chiado | Condé Nast Traveler

"Behind gates to a leafy garden in one of Lisbon’s smartest quarters, this pastel-pink 1877 palace manages to feel like home—whimsical and unpretentious—with a red Renault 4 in the cobbled courtyard, proper English breakfast tea, and even runner ducks. Rescued and lovingly restored by its English owners, the 25 rooms include a sublime garden room with ornate blue tiles and a roll-top copper bath, while outside a miniature Eden of palms, jacaranda, and lemon trees frames an Asian-style pool that glows at cocktail hour. Now and then, etiquette coach Isabel Amaral—who grew up here—drops by, reinforcing that irresistible homecoming vibe." - Abigail Malbon
