'Quiet luxury' endures at Lisbon’s Grand Dame, a 1950s and Louis XVI hybrid. Bags are whisked to rooms during check-in so you can admire the works by Portuguese artists dotted around the atrium.
City-view bedrooms have full marble bathrooms with deep baths, dual sinks and rainfall showers with sleek seats. Smart (if slightly dated) décor continues, with balconies overlooking Parque Eduardo VII. Triple-stacked pillows elicit audible sighs from weary travellers grateful of bedside power outlets and curtains that close at the touch of a button.
Breakfast is a buffet or à la carte feast served in the grand high-ceilinged Varanda Restaurant or sunny terrace. Fresh salmon, baked goods, hams and sausages abound; diet plans face serious jeopardy when traditional cake from Sintra lands on your table mid-omelette. Resistance is futile; on your exit, pass a seasonal deli counter stocked with handmade treats.
Attend to hill-weary legs with soothing treatments at the Ritz Spa, with Swiss Perfection, ESPA, and Sodashi products. A glass-walled rooftop gym is ringed by a 400-metre running track, with endless views of the River Tagus. Join a yoga class or use the fully-equipped Pilates studio before hopping in the pool(s) - one light-filled indoor sanctuary and a seasonal outdoor pool surrounded by secluded alcoves - think sun loungers, fresh fruit and cocktails.
Michelin-starred CURA celebrates skilful Portuguese curatorship: standout 'moments' include squid with hazelnut, bergamot, roasted seaweed butter, and Oscietra caviar (chef recommends you "destroy the beauty" by mixing the presentation!), and highly-prized tuna belly from the Algarve with vinho branco. It’s fabulous to dine with Lisbon’s elite, but do grab a bifana (hot pork roll) before you go. The brilliant concierge team can tailor authentic experiences - horse riding, vintage motorbikes, food tours, boat rides and more.

"Décor is grand - think chandeliers and huge flower displays on gilded furniture. A good collection of modern Portuguese art from tapestries to sculptures and paintings hang throughout the hotel."
