Long considered the city's finest hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon reflects the nobility and charm of historic Portugal. Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon occupies a premier position atop one of Lisbon's seven hills, with sweeping views of Eduardo VII Park, St. George's Moorish castle, the old town and the Tagus River. Grandly proportioned public areas feature vividly-colored, handmade tapestries, carpets and original Portuguese artworks. This hotel was built in 1959 by a group of Portuguese financiers with the intention of providing Lisbon with one of the best hotels in the world. The hotel rises from one of Lisbon's seven hills and is one of the most prominent modern landmarks of the city.
