Ponta da Piedade in Lagos. The stunning city of Lagos

The main attraction in Lagos is Ponta da Piedade

The beautiful city of Lagos is a popular tourist and relocation destination located in the western part of the Algarve.

Due to its beautiful golf courses, beaches, unique natural landscape (like the Ponta da Piedade), abundance of restaurants (especially seafood), and high-quality hotels, it is one of the most popular cities in the Algarve and Portugal.

It is one of Algarve’s most visited and friendliest cities, although Portimão and Albufeira tend to attract more tourists.

Lagos stands out from the previously listed cities since it is favoured by younger people, giving the city a refreshing and easygoing environment.

It’s also a historical city. Today, it’s easy to experience the history of Lagos by just wandering around the old city walls, some going back to the 15th and 16th centuries. This port city played a significant part in world history, yet few people know that the ‘Age of Discoveries’ really began in the city.

Some of the most important tourist attractions in Lagos, besides the golf courses and the natural landscape, are the marina and the city center.

It’s also important to mention that in 2012, Lagos topped TripAdvisor’s list of the “15 destinations on the rise” throughout the entire world.

This magnificent city in the Western Algarve is perfect for any golf enthusiasts, with great golf courses like Espiche and Palmares, which is in the list of the top 100 golf courses in Europe.

Hotel Palácio Estoril. The incredible history of Palácio Estoril hotel

Palácio Estoril has a very rich past

The Hotel Palácio Estoril is a five-star hotel in the centre of Estoril, only 20 minutes from Lisbon‘s city centre, and features stunning gardens and breathtaking views of Estoril and Cascais Bay.

Since its opening in 1930, travellers from all over the globe have stayed at Hotel Palácio. It provides all the comforts of home in an atmosphere of timeless luxury, and its famous hospitality sets it apart.

The Hotel Palácio Estoril of today still has many features from the time it opened in the 1930s. The Hotel’s opulent classic décor has been updated over time without deviating from its original framework of timelessness, luxury, and sophistication, creating an exclusive ambience that is felt by all who enter.

During the Second World War and due to Portugal’s neutrality, some royal families fled to Estoril, known at the time as the “Kings Coast”. British and German spies met in the Hotel Palácio, where numerous members of the European royalty stayed.

In 1969, “On Her Majesty’s Service”, a classic James Bond film, was set at the Hotel.

Palácio Estoril was the second home of the Spanish, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Romanian royal houses, and their descendants still visit the hotel. In February 2011, the Royal Gallery was created at the hotel, displaying photos of European nobles who have visited the place.

Today, Palácio Estoril continues to be a reference and has received many awards, like the Condé Nast Award 2023 for the best place for meetings and conferences, and the 2023 Merit Award from the Portuguese journal Expresso.

Enjoy your stay and let the hotel’s colourful and illustrious past inspire you.

Near the hotel, you’ll find excellent golf courses, like Oitavos Dunes, Quinta da Marinha and Golf Estoril.
