Vidago Palace Hotel

Vidago Palace (Vidago, Vila Real) 6 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Maybe you’re not up to date on your Portuguese history. (Then again, maybe you are.) Anyway the striking Belle Époque facade tells you a thing or two: despite the Vidago Palace’s relatively remote location near the country’s northern border, the hotel has a grand past based on its strategic position. Built in 1910, it’s near the Chaves hot springs, famous since Roman times for their healing properties — and a longtime favorite of Portuguese kings. More than a century later, the hotel is just as glamorous as the day it opened. But the opulent interiors have been smartly adapted to suit modern tastes; the magnificent ballroom now houses the stylish Salão Nobre Dining Room, the region’s healing waters flow through the sleek marble spa, and the guest rooms and suites are smartly outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and quaint roll-top bathtubs." - Tablet Hotels
