Palacio Estoril Hotel Golf & Spa

The classic kid on the Estoril Coast

Introduction
Rooms
Facilities

A gloriously storied hotel on the Portuguese Riviera. Split your time between pool days, spa treatments and exploring the sights of Lisbon, Cascais and Sintra.

This glossy floored, chandelier strewn, period feature-packed 1930s hotel delivers a hefty dose of vintage glamour. It’s hosted royalty and real spies as well as author Ian Flemming who created 007 James Bond here. Sip a shaken not stirred cocktail in the dapper bar and you’ll be sitting in the very spot. A 20-minute drive takes you to Sintra’s fairytale forests and palaces but it’s equally enticing to stay put, challenging your accuracy on the championship golf course, dipping into the dreamy pool and savouring crème brûlée on the Bougainvillea Terrace. The vast wellness centre and Banyan Tree Spa is also a big draw for both holistic therapies and a clinical slant that includes osteopathy, physiotherapy and water shiatsu.
