Paris, London, Madrid. Those are the three cities which have genuine Ritz hotels. All of the others are Ritz-Carltons or some other form of trading on the name. BtW, the three I mentioned are somewhat like mausoleums and nowhere near worthy of their preposterous tariffs.
I went to Lisbon earlier this month and yes the Hotel and AirBNB priced were heavily inflated, stayed in one AirBNB for $65 and it included the African owner’s family in the same hallway as our bedroom and shared bathroom.
Algarve however (Lagos and Sagres specifically) had very good and affordable hotels quite close to beach.
