Figueira by The Beautique Hotels, Lisbon, Portugal

• Dreamy design: Named after its proximity to Figueira Square (one of Lisbon’s largest and best known), Figueira Beautique Hotel promises style and serenity to all who visit. Nini Andrade Silva, the award-winning Portuguese interior designer, has all but guaranteed the former, with her lavish interiors, earthy hues and naturally-inspired décor. Many of the rooms in this Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice hotel even come with traditional Portuguese balconies, where private moments of peace while watching the world go by are bound to ensue.
  
  
• Traditionally Portuguese food: Hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners can be found at Restaurant & Bar Figu’s, an authentic eatery that benefits from prime views of Figueira Square. The restaurant produces traditional Portuguese cuisine with fresh and regional ingredients, best accompanied with a glass of local wine from the full and eclectic list. Speaking of drinks, the hotel’s bar makes for the perfect place to enjoy a cheeky cocktail in the afternoon, or your favourite tipple in the evening.
  
  
• Fantastic location: Your unrivalled position in the city centre means Lisbon really is yours for the taking. To take in the beauty of the city, plan a trip to the top of the Cristo Rei, a magnificent statue which stands over 100 metres tall on the opposite bank of the Tejo River from Lisbon and offers stunning views over the city. The impressive national art collection at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga is an absolute must for culture vultures. For those after something more alternative, most of the Lisbon Metro operates as a free art gallery exhibiting works by contemporary artists inspired by the are surrounding the various stations.
