To experience true elegance in the heart of Lisbon, book into the five-star Avenida Palace. Built in 1892, it still has an air of romance from the belle époque. The entire hotel was refurbished in the late 90s—all mod cons were added but the antiques and brocade remain firmly in place. Given a choice, aim to stay in one of the suites, sumptuously furnished in the style of Louis XV and with great views. The standard rooms are also elegantly decorated in a classic style with full sound-proofing and air-conditioning. Meeting rooms seat up to 140. Descend the marble staircase and stroll through the beautiful salons to the cosy piano bar where Lisbon’s movers and shakers gossip discreetly over drinks.

Dine in the Four Seasons Grill, a classic, intimate restaurant with great food.

After an extensive renovation, the former Farol Inn reopened in 2002 under the [name] Faro Design Hotel, the greater Lisbon area’s first contemporary boutique hotel. Wonderfully located on the seafront in Cascais, 16 of the unit’s 34 rooms were daringly decorated by prominent Portuguese designers. Businessmen use the hotel’s two meeting rooms (total 170 people) regularly for meetings or seminars. The Rosa Maria restaurant now serves Portuguese and Italian food. There is another small restaurant offering sushi and tempura. Locally renowned discotheque Coconuts is 30 metres away in the same grounds.
