Top 5-Star Hotels in Lisbon – VIP Perks & Curated Luxury Experiences

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal — a hilltop city of seven hills above the Tagus estuary, looking south across the Atlantic. The grid-planned Baixa downtown, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, leads up to the Bairro Alto and Chiado nightlife districts; the medieval Alfama wraps around the São Jorge Castle hill; and Avenida da Liberdade — Lisbon's Champs-Élysées — runs north to the Marquês de Pombal square. Belém, four kilometres west, holds the Manueline monuments of the Age of Discoveries.
