Casa do Príncipe

In a prime spot across from Príncipe Real's leafy central square, Casa do Príncipe gets high marks both for location (the heart of Lisbon's trendiest neighborhood) and prince-worthy accommodation at pauper's prices, catering to mostly couples with an eye for detail. Meticulously restored stucco work on awesome 13-foot original 19th-century ceilings, original hardwood floors, and authentic frescoes are everywhere; the nine rooms, each with garden views from every window, are palatial beauties in white-trimmed pastel hues that evoke Age of Discovery opulence.
