The Lisboans
Independence stay
Buzzing Baixa
Pretend you’re a Lisbon local with help from The Lisboans: 15 self-catering apartments with prime city views, Portuguese flair and an enviable location. Rustle up feasts in your characterful kitchenette, or nip next door for vintage bottles at the Lisboans’ sister store or meals at one of the city's revered restaurants. Stays here are guaranteed to be tasty: delicious breakfasts are brought to you daily (in a cute fabric bag) and António Galapito, the resturant's acclaimed executive chef, used to work alongside Nuno Mendes.

Our Favourite Rooms
There are no duds in this bunch: each apartment has its own distinctive decor and feel; covetable Portuguese furniture, fabrics and antiques feature throughout. That said, if you’re kipping here for more than three nights, you’ll appreciate the extra space – and the prime city views – offered by the Penthouse.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For
When you've polished off your lunch, borrow bikes and wheel around Lisbon. The hotel has partnered with a local tourist company: let staff know if you’d like to sign up for a tour, expedition or experience. Visit the Museu Nacional dos Coches in Belém, which boasts one of the finest collections of historical carriages in the world. (Taking the bus will never seem less glamorous.) Stroll around Lisbon’s mediaeval São Jorge Castle, which spies on the Tagus River; you can even sip a glass of wine while you soak up the views at the top. For an easier ramble, explore the Cathedral right next door to the Lisboans. Day-trippers can hop on a train along the coast to Cascais, around 90 minutes away, which has a winsome beach. Pick up picnic provisions from the Lisboans’ little market store, right next door...
