Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Each room is awash in relaxing earth tones and natural woodwork, and you’ll even find some of the famed blue-and-white Portuguese tiles inside these walls.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Steps past the private entryway, Príncipe Real unfolds with leafy garden kiosks, antique shops, and concept boutiques along Rua Dom Pedro V.
The rooms
Oak-paneled bedrooms feature sliding limestone bathroom screens and private balconies, with DIY Port tonic kits awaiting on arrival.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The green-tiled outdoor pool sits along the stone terrace, looking straight across Lisbon's terracotta rooftops.
At the table
Café Príncipe Real serves Lusophone-inspired cooking and craft cocktails behind floor-to-ceiling glass looking out over the city.
Interiors mix moss green fabrics with warm oak floors, while huge chandeliers from Santa & Cole cast their light on contemporary art…
How it began
Built on the site of a ruined structure behind historic nineteenth-century palaces, the geometric pavilion brought modern architecture to the hilltop.
