Sitting quietly behind a red wooden doorway of what appears to be a private home is Palacio Belmonte, a royal residence turned hotel perched at the highest point in Lisbon. Inside, only guests can wander the vast property, which was built in 1449 and retains much of its original Roman and Moorish architecture, as well as 3,800 authentic Portuguese tiles. Recently refurbished, the hotel features 12 stylish suites with diverse furnishings, seven terraces that offer jaw-dropping views of the city below, and a swimming pool surrounded by gardens. Equally hidden away is Leopold, a highly regarded restaurant tucked away just across the street from the hotel.
