Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Hotel

Lisbon

The Portuguese capital is one of our favourite cities for a mini-break, and this hotel is an ideal base. Found on the main thoroughfare, it’s a quick stroll to most neighbourhoods, there’s a round pool surrounded by trees and the busy rooftop Sky Bar has wonderful vistas of the city and the River Tagus. Snag a spot to watch the sunset before dinner in the adjoining Terraço Restaurant for Portuguese dishes like baked grouper with clam croquettes. Recently refurbished rooms embrace sleek, minimalist design with pops of soft duck egg blue. Doubles from £170.
