Nyhavn, Copenhagen
The Monochrome
Príncipe Real, Lisbon · Superb
The moment
The stay The moment you take the lift to the roof and the whole terracotta city rolls down to the Tejo.
A restored townhouse in Lisbon’s most stylish quarter, reimagined in travertine, oak and low golden light.
Behind a 19th-century façade is a study in restraint: bespoke furniture, hand-plastered walls and a courtyard that catches the afternoon sun. The neighbourhood — Príncipe Real — is the best of Lisbon, all concept stores, tiled cafés and jacaranda trees.
A rooftop bar looks over the terracotta rooftops to the Tejo. Come for a weekend; you will start looking at real estate.
