Pousada de Lisboa - Praca do Comercio
Portugal’s former Ministry of Internal Affairs carries out diplomacy with aplomb at Pousada de Lisboa. Even the most savvy cosmopolites are caught off guard by its stained glass–backed staircase and the collection of modern art pieces on loan from city museums. Lofty ceilings, dark parquet flooring, and relief plasterwork add an old-world touch to the 90 decidedly contemporary rooms. Taste Cecina and other signature steaks under the restaurant’s vaulted ceilings; the rooftop indoor pool and spa with a sauna elevate your stay.

The pousada’s main appeal just may be its prime address on the Praçado Comércio, fronted by the Tagus River. Sip espresso at nearby Café A Brasileira, Lisbon’s oldest café, dating from 1782.
