Lisbon, Portugal
.
In recent years, Lisbon has emerged as the weekend destination atop many a discerning traveller’s list, the city’s charismatic mix of Baroque and 19th century buildings and scenic bay forming a large part of the Portuguese capital’s allure.
.
Located in the city’s hipster Chiado quarter and straddling two distinct districts from its perch on the crest of hilltop Santa Catarina (famous for its views over Lisbon’s red roofs and the Atlantic), handsome, painstakingly restored four-storey 18th century Verride Palace houses 18 luxe rooms including two sumptuous suites. All are lavishly adorned with original rococo stucco work and fine furnishings, wrapped in a muted palate of light browns and greys and lined with raw linens and pale silks.
.
In skillfully and meticulously restoring the palace’s Pombalino interiors, architect Teresa Nunes da Ponte walked a fine line between retaining the ancient but still beautiful bones of the building, whilst injecting a sophisticated yet edgy modernity. The result is truly breathtaking and nothing short of a visual treat.
.
Sumptuous oversized beds are dressed in 800-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. Bathrooms are a minimalist’s dream, executed in marble and limestone, with the exception of the grand Queen’s Suite where hand-painted tiles surround a stark, white, oversized oval bathtub.

… And the day always began at the small barbershop of Hotel do Império (now called Hotel Britania)…
-So what will it be for today? A shave or a haircut, Sir? Have you read the news ?"...These were the classic questions of our Figaro on-duty. Reclining on the solid "Pessoa" chair, the guests of the Hotel would finish here their morning toillete, listening to the background music and reading the morning papers.

E o dia começava na pequena barbearia do Hotel do Império (hoje Britania)…

- Então e hoje o que vai ser? Barba ou cabelo, Senhor Doutor? Já leu as notícias?... - eram estas as perguntas sacramentais do nosso Fígaro de serviço. Reclinados na sólida cadeira “Pessoa”, os hóspedes do Hotel completavam aqui a sua toilette matinal, com música de fundo, entre os jornais da manhã.
