DK Eyewitness

"Located in a sixteenth-century Carmelite convent (and hidden from the main street by high walls), rooms here are chic and minimalist."
Star Service
"On a cobbled street of grand but decaying buildings, this hotel sits between Bairro Alto and the waterfront, near its tiny, less evocative sibling Janelas Verdes." Full review
Fodor's

Travel + Leisure
"The glamour of the 1950’s is beautifully enshrined in this yellow-and-gray palace chock-full of Midcentury pieces." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"There may be luxury hotels in more attractive locations... and with more characterful interiors (but take a look at the spa) – yet the Ritz is absolutely there for its guests."
Condé Nast Traveler
"Designed in 1952, this hilltop modernist edifice is for some "definitely the nicest hotel in Lisbon." Lavish interiors remain mostly as they were in the 1960s." Full review

The Telegraph
