Fodor's Expert Review The Literary Man Óbidos Hotel
Rua D. João d'Ornelas, Óbidos, Leiria, 2510–074, Portugal Fodor's Choice
This 19th-century convent turned stylish hotel has a bit of a split personality: a quarter of the rooms feature traditional wooden ceilings and floors and wrought-iron beds, while the rest are "eco-chic," employing recycled materials with contemporary flair. In keeping with Óbidos's reputation as a literary town, tens of thousands of books line the walls—including in the spacious restaurant (which serves Portuguese, Japanese, and vegetarian cuisine).
PROS
- well-stocked wine cellar doubles as a treatment room for massages
- unusual and engaging literary theme
- trendy gin bar
CONS
- parking in the area can be difficult
- can be noisy from outside traffic
- books up fast
