Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Britânia Art Deco

Rua Rodrigues Sampaio 17, Lisbon, Lisbon, 1150-278, Portugal Fodor's Choice

The impeccable service and historical detail are the key selling points of this well located hotel. From the porthole windows flanking the arched doorway to the marble columns in the lobby to the historic murals in the bar, a stay here will delight any Art Deco enthusiast. The Britânia is in one of the few 1940s buildings near Avenida da Liberdade to have survived the years unscathed, so you have the larger-than-usual guest rooms that are original to the townhouse. Staff go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, and the breakfast, served until midday, is a real feast.
