ideal for families) - two of which have panoramic views. All feature unique designs with
rich colour schemes and high-end furnishings. The first-rate cooked breakfast costs extra

Rua Nova do Almada 114; s/d from €142/162; )
Fusing 19th-
century charm with 21st-century cool, the well-located Hotel do Chiado offers carpeted,
well-appointed rooms that come in three styles: classics (small and boxy, with no view),
superiors (brighter and roomier with French balconies) and premiums (top-floor rooms
that open onto grassy, bougainvillea-clad terraces with views to the river and castle). Open
from 11am to midnight, the 7th-floor bar offers superb vistas for all.
Mercy Hotel

; Rua da Misericóridia 76; r €135-205; )
This luxury hotel has
sleek ultra-modern rooms, though the black colour scheme (for both the rooms and bath-
rooms) may seem overly dramatic. The cheapest quarters (the 'cosy' rooms) are quite
small. Top-floor rooms have magnificent views. It also has friendly efficient service, a
first-rate Japanese restaurant onsite and a great location a short stroll from both the Chi-
ado and Bairro Alto.
