Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon

A 1959 modernist landmark beside Parque Eduardo VII, the Ritz is Lisbon's grande-dame five-star — notable as much for its mid-century art and architecture as for its rooms. Its dining stable includes Michelin-starred CURA and the panoramic Varanda, and the bar and rooftop spa anchor a stay that justifies the room. Business and special-occasion altitude at the top of the avenue axis.
