The Pestana Cidadela Cascais - Pousada & Art District is much more than a 5-star hotel: it's a unique experience, located within the ancient citadel of Cascais, a historic fortress by the sea. This innovative Pousada has transformed the site into a vibrant Art District, combining modern luxury and high-end accommodation with a permanent art gallery, ateliers, and temporary installations, in a constant dialogue between military history and contemporary creativity.
The 133 rooms and suites are characterized by modern design and discreet luxury, with hardwood floors and elegant furnishings. They are equipped with the latest comforts, and many offer an unparalleled view of the marina or the historic walls. This fusion between the imposing architecture of the fortress and contemporary interior design guarantees a unique and stimulating atmosphere for guests.
Wellness is central to the offered experience. The Pousada features a magnificent outdoor swimming pool with a grassy deck and sun loungers, located next to the Paiol Garden, ideal for sunbathing and admiring the sea view. Furthermore, a luxurious heated indoor pool offers a view of the marina, completing the relaxation offer with a large Magic Spa for treatments and an equipped gym.
As a true 'Art District,' guests are constantly immersed in art. The common areas host galleries and installations that are part of the Bairro dos Museus of Cascais. The restaurants and bars celebrate Portuguese gastronomy with a modern touch, offering refined culinary options in settings ranging from elegant dining rooms to more informal spaces with fortress views.
The location within the walls of the Cidadela offers a sense of exclusivity and easy access to both the center of Cascais and the natural beauty of the Atlantic coast. It is a strategic starting point for exploring nearby beaches or the Sintra area, offering the perfect balance between the tranquility of the fortress and the vibrancy of the coastal town. The hotel is also Pet Friendly (with restrictions), welcoming four-legged friends.
