The Albatroz Hotel, Cascais Hotels
Elegant historic palace with bright rooms, a pool, a bar and restaurant, and sea views all around
Experience a taste of regal living, emulating the lifestyle of the Portuguese royal family who once sought refuge in the charming coastal town of Cascais. Immerse yourself in the splendor of the Albatroz Hotel, a remarkable establishment that was formerly the distinguished palace of the Duke of Loulé. This historic building, originally constructed in 1873, has been transformed into a luxurious boutique hotel that commands a breathtaking position atop a dramatic cliff, affording stunning views of the vast Atlantic Ocean.
The Albatroz Hotel benefits from its unparalleled location, with easy access to not one, but two beautiful beaches just a minute’s walk away. Guests can choose between the sandy shores of Ribeira de Cascais or the equally inviting Raina beach, both offering the perfect opportunity to soak up the sun and take a refreshing dip in the ocean’s invigorating waters.
A leisurely five-minute stroll will lead you to the heart of Cascais, where you’ll discover the enchanting Old Town and the vibrant 5th of October Square. Here, a delightful array of shops and restaurants awaits, promising a diverse range of culinary experiences and retail delights. Be sure to take note of the square’s unique and artistic wavy mosaic pavement, a true testament to Portuguese craftsmanship.
For those eager to explore beyond Cascais, the vibrant capital city of Lisbon is conveniently located approximately 30 minutes away by car. Furthermore, the enchanting fairy-tale castles of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are just a short 20-minute drive, providing an opportunity to delve into Portugal’s rich history and architectural wonders.
The Albatroz Hotel is presently composed of three distinct buildings, each with its own unique character and charm. The original 1873 palace stands proudly alongside a more modern wing, while an 18th-century palace, set further back from the sea, offers guests a chance to experience rooms adorned in a classic, period style.
The rooms within the main building are particularly bright and airy, decorated with a harmonious blend of nautical themes and traditional Portuguese elements, such as exquisite hand-painted blue tiles. Rooms with captivating sea views are highly sought after, but even if you don’t manage to secure one, you can still revel in the panoramic views of the Atlantic from various vantage points throughout the hotel.
The suites offer an added touch of luxury, some featuring cozy wood-lined library lounges, perfect for relaxation and quiet contemplation. The bathrooms are equally impressive, equipped with rainfall showers, luxurious bathtubs, and plush bathrobes, ensuring a truly indulgent experience.
Beyond its historical significance, a primary attraction of the Albatroz Hotel is its captivating cliffside location and the awe-inspiring views that accompany it. Guests can unwind on a comfortable sun lounger next to the inviting pool, gazing out at the endless expanse of the ocean. Start your day with a delightful breakfast on the terrace, enjoying the warm sunshine and the breathtaking panoramic views. As evening approaches, watch the sun gracefully descend over the horizon from the hotel’s stylish bar and restaurant, while savoring the flavors of local delicacies.

From the seemingly never-ending festivals to the diverse range of cultures that have made Portugal their home over the centuries, to the simple but delightful culinary experiences, the vibrant heritage and cultural diversity of this country captivate travelers.
When is the best time to visit?
Portugal is a year-round destination, but if possible, travelers should aim to visit in the springtime when the almond blossoms and wildflowers cover the countryside.
Where should you go in Portugal?
Experience the traditional Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon before it will be absorbed by the rest of the bustling city’s culture, tour the ancient ruins of Sintra and historic Evora, walk along the bluffs of Europe’s most southwestern point at Cabo de São Vicente, and relax on the beaches of Ilha de Tavira.
How many days do I need?
There are too many destinations that are must-sees in Portugal to see the country in less than a week. At least 10 days is best.
Getting Around Portugal
Although smaller than neighboring Spain and France, distances in Portugal are still significant—traveling from Porto to Faro, for example, takes five hours by car. Flying is a quick and comfortable way to get between the country's major cities, with the largest airport being Lisbon Airport (LIS). Going by bus or train are also options here.
