Bairro Alto Hotel

Colonial and mid-century modern styles work well together in individually decorated rooms at Barrio Alto Hotel, many of which have minimalist vanities, retro light fixtures, Brazilian hardwood floors and intricate wainscoting painted in elegant creams and grays. Views from private terraces range from the lively Luís de Camoes Square to peaceful side streets, though all windows are double paned, ensuring a good night’s rest. Black and white photographs and modular lights and furnishings set the tone at the Flores do Bairro restaurant, where windows onto Luís de Camões Square and Rua das Flores make it an ideal spot for people watching.

A 55-room hotel housed in a 19th-century baroque building in the heart of Lisbon’s historic downtown.

The hotel doesn’t have a spa or gym, though walking the neighborhood’s vertical streets might be enough of a workout.

You want to stay in a prime, pedestrian-friendly area, and in a room that, thanks to its terraced overlooks, connects you to the city’s street life.
