Art deco rules the
waves at Britania, a boutique gem near Avenida da Liberdade. Cassiano Branco put his
modernist stamp on the rooms with chrome lamps, plaid fabrics and shiny marble bath-
rooms. Hobnob over a G&T at the bar, chat with the affable staff and let this 1940s time
capsule work its charm.

Mercador consists of three
lavish apartments suitable for royalty. It's on a peaceful street one block back from grand
Avenida da Liberdade. It's best for self-caterers, as there's no reception area and minimal
amenities (although the suites are cleaned daily and the refrigerator is stocked for break-
fast).
