Historic Hotels in Portugal

Details for Reid's Palace Hotel, Madeira
Reid's Palace. Funchal, Madeira.

The list of dignitaries and well-known figures to have sojourned at Reid’s Palace is impressive. Moreover, it can even claim to have welcomed a famous adventurer en route to an ill-fated Antarctic expedition. 

Details for lawrence's Hotel, Portugal
Lawrence's Hotel. Sintra, near Lisbon.

Some say that part of one of poetry’s greatest works was penned at Lawrence’s. Not only that, but it could well be the oldest purpose-built hotel in Portugal.

Details for Pousada de Estremoz
Pousada de Estremoz. Estremoz.

There are few places in existence - let alone offering accommodation - that are as important in the history of Portugal as this remarkable place.

Details for Pousada Castelo de Palmela
Pousada Castelo de Palmela. Palmela.

Birthplace of a great explorer and home to kings, this celebrated pousada is probably as far from soulless corporate hospitality as one can get in Portugal. 

Details for Palacio Hotel, Estoril
Palacio Hotel. Estoril.

Perhaps the most recently constructed hotel to be listed on Nights in the Past, the Palacio still has a notable claim-to-fame. Be shaken, not stirred.

Details for Bussaco Palace Hotel
Bussaco Palace Hotel. Near Coimbra.

Evidence of Europe’s longest-standing military alliance, the Bussaco Palace has an association with one of Britain’s most iconic 19th century figures.

Details for Quinta das Lagrimas
Hotel Quinta das Lagrimas. Coimbra.

Four-star rated, those fluent in Portuguese will be intrigued as to why such a place should come to be so-called. See our page devoted to Quinta Das Lagrimas.

Details for Quinta do Scoto
Quinta do Scoto. Near Lisbon.

This classic Iberian country house bed & breakfast can lay claim to a connection to Portuguese 18th century affairs-of-state.
