"Dramatically positioned on a windswept headland that juts out into the ocean near mainland Europe’s most westerly point, a 17th-century fortress was transformed into a luxury hotel. From the stately military architecture to the waves crashing against the rocky cliffs, there’s no shortage of grandeur at Fortaleza Do Guincho. The sweeping views of the Atlantic are equally impressive from the inside, though you’ll only have a peek at them through the narrow fortification-style windows in standard rooms. Superior rooms and suites — full of historic charm with thick limestone walls, vaulted ceilings, and terracotta floors — offer broader views from their private balconies. But the standout panoramas are best appreciated via the one-MICHELIN-Star restaurant." - Tablet Hotels
