Pousada de Lisboa *****
With a prime position on the corner of Praça do Comécio – the Commerce Square – Pousada de Lisboa has watched over Lisbon's comings and goings for centuries. Now, beautifully restored and transformed into a luxury, boutique hotel, it's an elegant hideaway in the heart of the city.
While the majestic golden façade hints at its grand past, it's the interior of Pousada de Lisboa that really wows. The contemporary restaurant RIB Beef & Wine is the ideal place to settle in for the evening with wine and fine portugese cuisine. While the jewel in the hotel's crown is the magnificent ballroom. When it's time to head upstairs, you'll find rooms that are chic and contemporary, with grand windows giving far-reaching city views.
If you can draw yourself away from the calm of the courtyard, pool or spa, Lisbon's major sights are within easy reach. A gentle stroll in one direction will take you to the ancient cathedral or the Church of St Anthony. Or walking the other way could see you spending time in the hip surrounds of the National Museum of Contemporary Art.

What to do nearby?
While the chefs work their magic preparing regional specialities, sit back and take in the sumptuous setting. Rich fabrics, candlelit tables and soaring ceilings make dinner a magical affair. At breakfast time, the views across Terreiro do Paço make for a lovely start to the day.
RIB Beef and Wine - On the ground floor you will find the restaurant with views over the breathtaking Terreiro do Paco - Praca do Comercio. In main menu look out for Tomahawk ribeye steak especially, a different cut and matured for 28 days, which gives a pronounced flavour without being too strong.
