Memmo Alfama

The all-white hotel in the heart of Lisbon’s

most picturesque district defines cool for

the city. Gleaming white rooms and stylish

public spaces perch atop a cliff overlooking

the harbour. The infinity pool and deck may

be the hippest place to be seen in town.

Historic

Pestana Pousada de Lisboa

This grand hotel, brilliantly situated on

Lisbon’s waterfront Praça do Comércio,

is located in a centuries-old palace that was

formerly the offices of the dictator Salazar.

These days, it’s far more salubrious and full

of treasures from the national museum.
