Tivoli Avenida Liberdade: A 1933 Landmark on Lisbon's Grand Boulevard

The Tivoli Avenida Liberdade has been a fixture of Lisbon since 1933, on the city's grand tree-lined boulevard, the Avenida da Liberdade, the Portuguese capital's answer to the Champs-Élysées. Behind its historic facade lie a rare semi-tropical garden and a celebrated ninth-floor rooftop, a combination few city hotels can match.

The dining is a scene in its own right. SEEN Lisboa by Olivier, on the ninth floor, serves contemporary Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine by chef Olivier da Costa with a 360 bar and DJ; the SEEN Sky Bar pours cocktails over the city; Cervejaria Liberdade serves the freshest Portuguese seafood; and a Cellar 47 wine collection, lobby bar and garden pool bar complete the offering.

For a historic, buzzy stay on Lisbon's grandest avenue, the Tivoli is a standout.
