Pal??cio EstoriI is a destination in itself, and I have always wanted to spend the night there. I finally decided to give it a try this May, and spent the weekend there with my mother and my daughter. While the weather was still a bit too cold for the beautiful outdoor pool, we absolutely loved the indoor pool and have to confess we spent a lot of time there. The classic room was excellent, and so were the views. From the Palace you can walk to the beach, and dine at some of the great restaurants that face the sea. And a couple of minutes from the Hotel you have Cascais, with so much to see and do. I enjoyed the weekend, and would gladly return. My only negative experience, or not so positive, was breakfast. I considered it one the poorest I had at a 5 stars hotel. I understand Covid limitations, but Covid does not justify the lack of choice available and inferior service. Despite breakfast, everything else was top notch, a (nearly) perfect short family getaway.

Great to finally return to this hotel that offers exceptional service in a grand and cosy manner. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to a challenging golf course plus access to a superb spa. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. The hotel itself is steeped in history, just a walk down the corridors admiring the memorabilia makes you appreciate this. A true gem.

This was my second visit at the Palacio, and certainly not the last. It???s truly one of Europe???s hidden gems, indeed I hesitate writing a review only because more people will find this fantastic place. The service is flawless and incredibly personal; when I asked to change my room type at check-in they not only accommodated me but remembered what view I preferred from my last stay and delivered. Every interaction is friendly??? I have seen some reviews using words like ???stuffy??? - that could not be farther from the truth. Service here is flawlessly and elegantly executed in the same traditional manner you would see at the Hassler in Rome, or the Vier Jahrzeiten in Hamburg. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable, but again very traditional, so don???t arrive expecting Philippe Stark design. The bar is outstanding, and the pool has to be one of the most lovely in Portugal. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Booked for a week but stayed here only for one night as we had to go back earlier due to family circumstances. We got a full refund and best wishes from the kind management.
The hotel is especially suited for a city trip or golfers, a bit less for a beach holiday for families although our kids loved the place
