New to Lisbon’s hotel scene is the Ivens Hotel, conveniently located in the bustling Chiado neighborhood and set in a former warehouse from the 19th century. While you’re spoiled for choice with 87 rooms, some with floral and fauna wallpaper and others with decadent marbled bathrooms, the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, Rocco—the place to be in Lisbon right now—is the real reason to book.
