The Hotel Palacio is well known in this area as the hotel with the most character. This majestic old building has stood for many years overlooking Estoril, in its own extensive gardens and it is easy to see why people return year after year. Grandiose more accurately describes the hotel, with its elegant paintings and ornate furnishings, its marble floors and crystal chandeliers, more akin to the royal families and local dignatories of its long history and interesting past. Having just undergone a complete re-furbishment of all rooms the Palacio is even more magnificent than before, with modernised rooms yet not detracting from the classical style it is famed for. Located next door to the Estoril Casino, and a short walk across to the beach, the hotel is ideal if you're looking for luxury, history and quality. i
