Vidago Palace is one of Portugal's most romantic hotels, a grand belle-époque spa palace commissioned by King Carlos I and opened in 1910, set in a vast forested park in the north of the country. Famed for its thermal waters, its sweeping pink-and-gold grand staircase and a championship golf course, it evokes a golden age of European spa travel.
The dining is a highlight. The Salão Nobre serves elegant, deconstructed northern Portuguese cuisine in a grand hall of gilded panels under acclaimed chef Vitor Matos; and an intimate Wine Cellar hosts evening tastings and pairings.
For a belle-époque spa stay in northern Portugal, Vidago Palace is a benchmark.
