Excellent hotel in the museum quarter. All the best sights are within easy walking distance. Don’t miss the Palácio de Cidadela in the square, but tours are limited so you need to book. The hotel gave us a 24 hour museum voucher with access to 13 places, which included the Palácio. This will save you quite a lot of money, although you’ll need to prioritise! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Everything was delightfully well-run in an understated way. Super comfy beds, cleanliness impeccable and the best breakfasts in the dining room overlooking the marina! Very relaxing, we loved every minute.

A real unique hotel
My partner and I stayed 3 nights here as a base to visit Sintra. Overall we had a really pleasant stay. The property is built inside of an old fort and the different areas of the hotel are from various eras of construction - there is a small color coded map in the lobby that explains all of this. Honestly I think they downplay the history of the site and buildings, which is a bit of a shame. I would have loved if more info had been included in the room and around the property to explain some of the history. Most things you could want in Cascais are a short walk away and the galleries around the hotel courtyard were nice to visit. The breakfast buffet has a good selection to appeal to just about everyone but can be a little chaotic depending on the day and time. The pool is small and a bit of a challenge to find. Overall the signage around the property is a little lacking - it wasn't uncommon to see people getting lost trying to find their rooms.
