History and Elegance: The Palácio Hotel Estoril

The Palácio Estoril is much more than a hotel.
It is a historic icon that transcends time and any fleeting fashion.

Built in 1930, this iconic hotel retains all the charm and elegance of yesteryear while providing the comfort and modern amenities of a five-star luxury hotel.

Designed by the French architect Henry Martinet, Palácio Estoril was conceived with refinement, from its facade to its beautiful gardens that captivate visitors. 

Can you imagine yourself walking through the same corridors that famous spies walked during World War II?

Throughout the decades, the hotel has hosted a long list of illustrious guests.
Even today, in its corridors, one can observe a curious exhibition of photographs featuring heads of state, emperors, kings, princes, artists, writers, sports champions, filmmakers, and actors... who have stayed at this magnificent hotel.

During the turbulent period of World War II, as Portugal enjoyed peace due to its neutrality, the Estoril Coast was the preferred refuge for European elites seeking asylum. Consequently, it also attracted various spies of different nationalities who, during this time, turned the Estoril coast into a veritable stage for the War of Information.

In homage to this period, in 1968, the Palácio Hotel was the setting for the filming of the sixth film in the James Bond series – "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," still starring the late Sean Connery.
