Fodor's Expert Review NAU Palácio do Governador

Layers of history are on display at this beautiful retreat that combines fascinating peeks into the past with the latest high-tech amenities. The spacious and tastefully appointed rooms are housed in a building once owned by the Governor of Torre de Belém (and on the site of some Roman ruins, which can be seen through glass panels in the floor). The lobby was once a chapel, and the excellent restaurant has an original domed ceiling. A luxurious spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and pleasant terrace bar make the hotel a wonderful place to relax.
