Slip down a narrow alley to reach this gorgeous Alfama boutique option, a stunning conversion of a shoe-polish factory and former bakery. The rooms are an ode to whitewashed minimalism and staff are as sleek as the decor, with their uniform-issued retro New Balance sneakers and hipster aura. The view down to the Rio Tejo from the roof terrace is phenomenal.
Memmo has been designed as a kind of open house and goes the extra mile to make guests feel at home, with a doodle pad by your bed, a morning honesty bar, a brick-domed library and an elevator entrance (the bakery's massive former ovens), and the iPod docks in every room.
