The prize will also include sumptuous breakfasts every day, return airport transfer service (from Lisbon International Airport), cocktails at the hotel’s S. Jorge panoramic bar and Portuguese delicatessen VIP treatment in the room upon arrival.

To win, entrants must submit a 24-hour travel guide to their chosen destination. Great Hotels of the World is searching for the most original, interesting and inspiring entries that will make even the least-travelled people want to book tickets tomorrow. Entries can be submitted by emailing competition@ghotw.com and Great Hotels of the World will then choose the lucky winner whose travel guide will be featured on the Great Hotels website (http://www.ghotw.com).

The deadline for this exciting competition is the 15th November 2011 and entries must be no longer than 750 words.
