Just 15 minutes from both Lisbon and Cascais on the Portuguese Riviera, Palácio dos Arcos is a 5-star boutique hotel built inside a palace with roots in the late 15th century — and, most likely, the very building that gave Paço de Arcos its name.
A Century Palace, Reopened in 2013
Rebuilt three centuries after its original construction and opened as a hotel by the Vila Galé Group in 2013, Palácio dos Arcos takes poetry as its decorative theme throughout, pairing the history of the building with a current, comfortable hotel standard. Rooms and suites open onto balconies with sea views, and the property keeps several genuinely historic spaces intact — a library and a chapel among them — alongside mature gardens, an outdoor pool, and the Satsanga Collection spa with indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath, gym and treatment rooms. The gourmet restaurant, led by executive chef Francisco Ferreira, reinvents Portuguese cuisine with an uninterrupted view over the Tagus.
Meetings & Events
The hotel sits in the centre of Paço de Arcos, 15 minutes from the historic centres of both Lisbon and Cascais, and a 2-minute walk from the train line that runs along the coast between the two — a genuinely practical base for a group that wants to move between the city and the Riviera without changing hotels. Event space across the property scales from small meetings up to banquet-style gatherings for larger groups.
- 76 rooms and suites, most with sea-view balconies
- Event rooms with capacity up to 186 pax for meetings, congresses and banquets
- 15 minutes from central Lisbon and Cascais, 2 minutes’ walk from the coastal train line
- Spa, business-friendly facilities, library, chapel and free Wi-Fi throughout
Palácio dos Arcos also carries a genuine sustainability track record: certifications through the Vila Galé Group include ECO-HOTEL, LIDERA, Chave Verde, Travelife and TUI Umwelt Champion — a relevant detail for corporate clients with their own sustainability reporting requirements.
