Four Seasons Hotel Ritz | A must in Lisbon

Hôtels / October 4, 2023

In the chic neighborhood of Marquês de Pombal, the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon 5 stars & spa is one of the hotel summits of the Portuguese capital.

With its luxurious rooms and suites, some of which are enhanced with private terraces, the hotel breathes the beautiful classicism inspired by the 18th century, with cream tones combining a touch of contemporary spirit with a grand marble hall and sumptuous interiors elegantly signing the legendary patina of the luxurious Four Seasons hotel chain.

Led by Guilherme Costa (trained at Montgomery College, Maryland, USA and Estácio de Sá University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon thus maintains a very high quality of services and certainly represents one of the hotel jewels of the Portuguese capital.

In the lobby, the floral decorations are superb, the atmosphere is elegant. On the gastronomy side, the hotel offers an excellent gourmet restaurant, Varanda, and the Ritz Bar (decor signed by Pierre Yves Rochon) supervised by Pascal Meynard, executive chef of the hotel.

Decorated by Leonardo Castro Freire, the Varanda restaurant accommodates 80 guests. On the menu, Pascal Meynard and his teams offer high-flying gastronomy: Portuguese-style seafood, suckling pig, traditional Cataplana (shrimp and clams, coriander) or the famous lobster rice casserole.

The Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon also offers another restaurant: Cura, dedicated to the signature cuisine of Portuguese chef Pedro Pena Bastos. Drawing from the riches of regional terroirs, Pedro Pena Bastos works with beautiful flavors combining taste, textures, and precise culinary techniques. Reserved for 28 guests, the Cura restaurant, with its open kitchen, invites the pleasures of the eyes and the palate.

On the wine side, the lists present excellent selections of Portuguese, French, and other regions of the world offered by talented sommeliers.

We also appreciate the wonderful spa, as well as the fitness room, and the 400-meter running track located on the roof of the hotel. Note the beautiful capacities for weddings, banquets, and seminars for up to 320 people.
