The ride to the Casa dell'Arte from Lisbon airport, which passes through some of the sketchiest areas of the city (and that's saying something) can be dispiriting. But once through the doors of this former mansion, the atmosphere is simply gobsmacking: dazzling displays of classic blue-on-white Portuguese tile adorn the public areas, while the rooms approach a kind of classical grandeur. It isn't perfect: bathroom spaces can be tricky, and communication poses a problem for non-Portuguese speakers. One big drawback: the lack of an in-house lunch and dinner restaurant, hopefully to be corrected in the spring of 2023; for those who find the "traditional" breakfast unsatisfying, there are a number of excellent cafes a block away. Still, this private hotel makes up in ambience and friendliness what it may lack in certain amenities. Make sure to book an off-street room, though, as the plaza outside plays host to the city's most storied flea market two days a week.
