Fodor's Expert Review The Yeatman

If you count wine among your passions, a stay at the British-inspired Yeatman Hotel should be on your itinerary. The brainchild of Adrian Bridge, head of the leading port producer Taylor Fladgate, the hotel has fine wine as a recurrent theme, from the decanter-shaped outdoor infinity pool to the spa offering a red-wine bath said to improve circulation. Wine producers across Portugal have partnered with The Yeatman, each adopting a room to decorate with items representing their winery. In the cellar, wine director Beatriz Machado presides over a 20,000-bottle collection. The hotel's impressive restaurant excels at contemporary spins on typical Portuguese dishes.
