Valverde Hotel

Only a turn of artistic alchemy could transform a nobleman’s townhouse into the knockout Valverde Hotel. Located along chic Avenida da Liberdade, this 48-room showpiece magically mixes retro furnishings, antique prints, bright fabrics, and bold patterns in an eclectic feast for the senses. Plan the day’s escapades on the moody living room’s plush, magenta-purple couch; then breakfast in the surprisingly low-key Sítio Valverde brasserie. The courtyard patio offers a leafy escape for afternoon tea or passion fruit mojitos by the pool; rent the hotel’s boat for a day of sailing along the Tagus River.
