The former summer retreat of Portuguese royalty, Ritz-Carlton’s Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort still embodies a bastion of the regal lifestyle on the Iberian Peninsula’s Estoril Coast.
Set within a 545-acre national park, the historic property encompasses a luxurious hotel, a nineteenth-century palace (originally built as a fourteenth- century monastery), and two spectacular golf courses. A $25-million renovation completed in 2005 updated the entire property in grand style.
