Our take
Lisboa Pessoa Hotel, inspired by the poet Fernando Pessoa, sits about 200 metres from Chiado, so most of central Lisbon is on foot. Its pool is part of the spa rather than a sunbathing deck, which I see as a calm swim after a day on the hills. The fitness centre and the restaurant with panoramic views round out a stay rated 9.4.
- ✓Book a room with a terrace for the best city views, especially at sunset.
- ✓Make sure to visit the hotel's restaurant for dinner to experience the panoramic Lisbon skyline.
- ✓Take advantage of the spa's pool and relaxation areas after a day of walking the city's hills.

Why guests love itBeing 200 metres from Chiado meant we walked everywhere from Lisboa Pessoa, and came back most evenings to the spa pool, which is adults-only from age 16 so it stayed properly quiet. Dinner at the restaurant with panoramic views over the city was a highlight we didn't expect from a mid-size hotel. The Fernando Pessoa literary theme running through the property gave it real character rather than generic design. Families with younger kids should note the pool's age limit, but for culture-minded couples it's an excellent Chiado base.
