Simply oozing prestige, this Four Seasons landmark close to the heart of the city reflects the nobility and charm of historic Portugal. Situated on one of the city’s seven hills, fine views are afforded across to Eduardo VIII Park, St George’s Castle and the broad sweep of the Tagus as it flows into the Atlantic. Spacious guest rooms and suites – many with private terraces - feature marble bathrooms, handmade tapestries, eighteenth century style furniture and original artworks. Gourmets come to dine at the stylish Varanda Restaurant where chef Pascal Meynard brings his experience from Michelin-starred restaurants to a sumptuous variety of cuisine including authentic Portuguese caldeiradas and cataplana dishes. Meet up in the Ritz Bar for fine wines, ports and light bites. A luxurious spa with an indoor pool, treatment rooms, sauna and fitness centre is uniquely located on the rooftop of the hotel, overlooking the garden and park. Aside from discovering Lisbon’s myriad attractions there is a nearby tennis club and golf course.
Southern Portugal including the Algarve enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and mild winters. July and August are hot but temperatures are moderated by sea breezes. A good time to visit Portugal is May to June and September to October, where days are pleasantly warm and sunny. Madeira is a good year-round destination with temperatures remaining pleasantly mild over the winter months.
