“The beautiful yellow ochre façade of the Bairro Alto Hotel stands on one of Lisbon’s most charming squares, named after a famous 16th-century poet. Inside, smallish rooms have whitewashed walls painted with frescoes of birds; floors are wooden, and beds supremely comfortable. Downstairs are a popular bar and a corner restaurant serving modern Portuguese fare. But best is the roof terrace with its unforgettable view over Lisbon and the Tagus river.”
