The Memmo Príncipe Real is one of the group’s 10 hotels in Portugal (their first opened in 2007 in the Algarve, followed six years later by Alfama). Unlike a lot of Lisbon, which has taken off as a major tourist destination in recent years, this area north of Barrio Alto is still a favourite among trend-savvy locals. Príncipe Real is in fact, one of Lisbon's most exclusive places to visit, and the spot is short of hotels, which makes this one particularly special. Its purpose-built, modern style also sets it apart from the Pombaline aesthetic of downtown Lisbon. It's also decked out with quality in mind. Each room has air-conditioning, but more than that – they're equipped with a modern Bang & Olufsen TV and many have terraces. The receptions are beautiful too, so if you don't want to leave that's fine, but you could explore the good area and use this as the opulent rest-your-head place you deserve!
