Follow the sounds of fado through Lisbon's streets to one of these hotels in neighborhoods across the city. Stay near the sophisticated Avenida Liberdade and Marquês de Pombal area, celebrate the arts on Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro Square, or take in the Bairro Alto from a rooftop at these standout spots.
Visiting the Douro Valley is about getting close to its famous wines. While many visitors come to the area as a day trip, if you want to linger a little longer, stay on-site at one of the wineries, which offer manor houses, cozy bed and breakfasts, and modern touches for a memorable stay—complete, of course, with river views and plenty of time in the estate cellars.
Porto's hotels echo the city's history, with locations dotted through the historic city center. Stay in a former manor house or comfortable guesthouse, with options at all points along the pricing spectrum and plenty of spots to enjoy a glass of the city's signature wines.
Head south to the golden beaches of the Algarve at one of these seaside retreats. Whether you stay in charming Tavira, along the cliffs of Carvoeiro, or at a wellness retreat just off the Ponta da Piedade, these hotels range from former convents to sprawling resorts and can provide a vacation for any taste.
Get in touch with Coimbra's history and famous university by staying at a hotel within its UNESCO World Heritage city center. Whether it's a cozy residence, literature-inspired guesthouse, or 18th-century palace, these options will have you sleeping in style.
The key to a stay in the city of Lagos is easy access to the sea. If you want to stay within the city, a spot along the marina will give you water views and easy walking access to shops and restaurants, or go just a bit farther along the cliffs to immerse yourself in a wellness retreat.
When traveling to the Azores, you want to ensure you're taking advantage of the many aspects of these lush islands. A stay on São Miguel or Terceira will put you in the center of the attractions, with options both in the city centers and out in the natural world, along with volcanic springs, lively city squares, and bay views.
You can feel the history that overflows in Évora at every turn, especially in its lodgings. The best hotels in the city and its surroundings have impressive histories of their own, ranging from noble houses to olive oil production facilities to famous historic convents. Choose whether you want to stay in the city center or out in the Alentejo countryside, and see where the story takes you.
