A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
4 hotels
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Casa Velha Do Palheiro
An 1804 hunting lodge built for the Count of Carvalhal, restored with original architectural features and antique furnishings.
Pestana Fisherman Village
Restored municipal townhouses retain original stonework around an open-air cloister.
Gold. Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver. Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze. They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed. A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
Design. Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe. Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local. It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Heritage. A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness. You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic. The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort. A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
