Sublime Lisboa

Sister property to renowned celebrity getaway Sublime Comporta (an hour’s drive from Lisbon in a sleepy seaside freguesia), this glossy new hotel draws the city slickers. Artfully furnished bedrooms and suites have a modern ‘boudoir’ feel, while Davvero is the destination Italian restaurant. Ingredients mostly hail from Sublime Comporta’s kitchen garden, where discerning locals head for weekend escapes. You can truly taste the love and care that goes into each dish at both properties. Aside from its gardens, the big draw of the neighbourhood is the gargantuan shopping mall, which few know has a viewing platform from which to gaze at the Lisbon skyline. Not far is the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, filled with a dazzling array of treasures (with free entry every Sunday after 2pm).
