Our favourite rooms
For a room with a (stunning) view, book number 54 for its Castel St Jorge and Lisbon vistas. Reluctant land-lubbers should plump for number 62, which overlooks the river Tagus. Also worthy of mention are the sixth-floor rooms – despite having smaller windows, they are set in the eaves of the building. The delicate wallpaper adds to their homely charm.
Packing tips
Swimwear for the basement pool, trainers for the fitness centre, empty space in your suitcase for holiday acquisitions from the nearby boutiques.
Also
The hotel’s sensitive and sophisticated renovation is beautifully apparent in the bathrooms, which have a fuss-free, traditional Portuguese charm. Free-standing pewter sinks, blue and white tiles, enormous mirrors, bold rose-print shower curtains and elegantly embroidered hand towels add up to a romantic and alluring space.
