It has an intriguing heritage that is intertwined with European history. Now firmly in the 21st century, the Palácio successfully combines significant echoes of its grandeur with ultra-modern facilities, promoting luxury and a cosy and welcoming ambience overall.

Amenities

International and Portuguese dishes are served in the Grill Four Seasons Restaurant. Those who prefer to be seated overlooking either the hotel’s crystal clear, immaculate pool or the lush garden will enjoy the Bougainvillea Terrace, where guests can listen to music while they enjoy a meal or have a drink. If a more unusual experience is required, why not visit the Bar Estoril, said to be the haunt of spies during World War II? The bar has a view of the poolside garden, and a stylish and charming ambience pervades all.

Golf is an important ingredient in the resort packages that this luxury five star hotel can offer, as one of the Estoril golf courses belongs to the hotel. Additionally, a great spa sets the seal on five star holidays and has been a tremendous success at Hotel Palácio. In fact, the service provided by all staff throughout the hotel is widely acclaimed.
