"For design inspiration Clever use of touchy-feely textiles, vintage and contemporary artworks, and restored mid-20th-century furniture keeps things agreeably mixed up at Hotel Valverde. It's dark, hushed, and discreet yet smiling and unstuffy, with sunshine by the pool and terrace rather than on the roof, as is the more typical Lisbon way. Rooms are elegant, furnished with antiques and paintings to give a luxurious feel. Sumptuous velvet chairs sit alongside roll-top baths for ultimate relaxation after a day’s exploration. —Matthew Buck Price: Doubles from $272 Address: Av. da Liberdade 164, 1250-146 Lisboa, Portugal" - Abigail Malbon
