 Seteais Palace Hotel by J_Antunes
Lawrence's Hotel (5 stars)
The oldest one, and the second oldest in the world is Lawrence's. The name come from the first owner a british lady with last name Lawrence. Opened in 1764 it is a small (16 rooms), luxourious, charming, carefully restored hotel and close to the city centre. The downside are that some rooms are quite small and there are thin walls. In here passed many famous people including Lord Byron (that wrote here most of the book Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) that called Sintra an Eden, William Beckford, Bill Clinton, Margaret Tatcher or the portuguese writter Eça de Queirós. The hotel has also a good restaurant with nice views. The hotel was closed since the 60's and was reopened in 1999. The hotel has also a conference room. (see more in http://www.lawrenceshotel.com/).
Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort (5 Stars)
It was a former retreat of the portuguese Royal Family and is inside an old park (with 220 hectares) today with two golf courses (designed by the famous Robert Trent Jones II). It has also a XIV century monastery, a 1.500 sqm spa, a piano bar, swimming pools, fitness centre, limousine service, squash, jogging trails, conference rooms, 5 restaurants and stores. Although its 194 rooms it is quite calm the downside is that it is not at a walkable distance of Sintra you have to take a car or taxi, it can be a bit expensive and a bit cold and windy. (See more in www.penhalonga.com).
Tivoli Palácio de Seteais (5 Stars)
Recently restaured this hotel is indeed inside an XVIII century palace with great gardens and views. The palace was built by Daniel Gildemeester, at the time consul of Holland in Portugal. Later the regent prince D. João has done some works in the palace that has beautiful frescos. It has just 30 rooms, tennis court, swimming pool, restaurant and bar. The interiors of the palace are totally furbished with antiques and the hotel was recently under improvement works. It is not exactly in Sintra but it is possible to walk to there if you like walking. See more in http://www.tivolihotels.com.r />
Casa Miradouro (4 Stars)
A beautiful and small 6 bedroom manor house from XIX century close to the Sintra city centre (although you have to go through a steep narrow road to get there) and with great overlooks, nice gardens and beautiful cealings. The family management gaves to the place a certain charm. Downside are the thin walls. See more in http://www.casa-miradouro.com.
Pestana Sintra Golf and Spa Resort (4 stars)
Modern Hotel (opened in 2006), confortable, a bit away from Sintra with 137 rooms close to a golf course.It has all the modern conforts such as SPA, tennis and swimming pool. Limited choices in food is the biggest downside. See more in http://www.pestana.com.
Tivoli Sintra (4 stars)
The biggest asset of this hotel is its location, exactly in Sintra City Centre and it has 77 rooms. The hotel is a bit degradated and lacks some conforts of newer hotels and also insonorization. Its outside is a bit 70's ugly but has nice panoramic views. See more in www.tivolihotels.com
Quinta da Vigia
It is not in Sintra but in Colares a nearby town by the sea with a tram that connects them. However it is still a bit far away. With just 11 rooms it is a nice house to stay with its nice swimming pool and views over the sea. Has T1 and T2 apartments. Maintenance and cleanliness might be improved. See more in www.quintadavigia.com.
Quinta de Sao Tiagho
An historcal XVI century building with beautiful gardens and a swimming pool. The house is a fusion of the old and the new and has only 9 rooms. It is in Sintra mountain but a bit away from the city centre. It has a family environment but it is an old house with everything that has of good and bad. Food is good, there is a charming chapel and nice library but there is no internet. See more in www.booking.com.
