The Emerald House Lisbon - Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★

Set in a 19th-century building, The Emerald House Lisbon offers a warm and welcoming base from which you can discover Lisbon's best bits. The hotel radiates a contemporary feel with chic, vintage style found throughout. You'll also spot charming original details, such as its pretty decorative tiles, and there's a celebration of the city's cultural heritage via its array of artwork. The rooms are elegant and spacious, and many come with a balcony overlooking the sprawl of red roofs.

Located on the doorstep of the National Museum of Ancient Art - in a quiet residential neighbourhood, you are well-positioned to explore all the city has to offer. Whether heading to the riverfront, the shopping and theatre hub Chiado, planning to meander through the charming historical cobblestone alleyways of Aflama or aiming for the bustling and bohemian Bairro Alto – it's all accessible. It's incredibly easy to get around whether on foot, via bus, tram or train - if arriving from the airport, it's just a 15-minute drive away.

Whilst delicious dining options in Lisbon are endless, you can choose to enjoy the sumptuous Portuguese and Mediterranean cuisine at the hotel's A Mesa restaurant. The open-plan setting offers a delightful gastronomical experience in an elegant and casual environment. There's also The Five O'Clock Bar, inspired by Catarina de Bragança, the first lady to bring the Five O'clock tea tradition to England - look out for the impressive collection of antique porcelain teacups and teapots. You can choose from a selection of yummy cocktails, plus tasty finger food served throughout the day.

Whatever your evening plans, a must-do is watching the stunning sunset from one of the many "miradouros" (viewpoints) and taking in the panoramic vistas of this fabulous city.
