The Bar/Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon

"Dining at the two restaurants gets good reviews, and the two bars are popular gathering spots"

"There's excellent sushi at the intimate O Japonês, and relaxed snacks and small plates at the hotel's lounge bar, but the biggest draw is Varanda Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with stunning views"

"More than half a century later it is still setting the bar, managed now by the Four Seasons Group, and still renowned for the service for which they have always been famous"

"The hotel really comes into its own, though, in the sweeping public lounges that double as galleries of Portuguese Modernist art; among the most eye-popping pieces are the neon-colored, Picasso-like tapestries of centauros by José de Almada Negreiros"

"The velvet-upholstered cocktail lounge to one side is similarly capacious and purveys an aura of understated sophistication"
