"Lisbon’s swanky Lapa district is removed from the busy, winding streets of other neighborhoods, and this hotel is as grand as the neighborhood. Built in 1870, Lapa Palace was originally the residence of Luís Leite Pereira Jardim, the Count of Valenças, with ballrooms, tower views, and a lot of marble to prove it. Behind the 109-room building you’ll find a heated swimming pool and landscaped garden—an ethereal space in a fast-paced city."
