Douro Palace, New ARTEH Hotel in Portugal
Douro Palace Hotel in Bai~ao, Portugal, is now one of the selected ARTEH Hotels
JANUARY 28, 2009 - Nestled into a green cliff overlooking the Douro River in Bai~ao province, the small palace covered in blue tiles and the contrasting white minimalist building that make up the Douro Palace Hotel Resort & Spa stand out.
This combination of the historical with the contemporary has brought to life a hotel with elegant spaces, boasting modern design and refined details, and also benefiting from the superb location and the refreshing natural surroundings.
The highlight is the panoramic view over the valley and the river that can be appreciated from the swimming pool, the terrace and the interiors, especially the rooms, all of which have large windows and balconies.
The SPA is also worthy of special mention. Taking its inspiration from the landscape, its philosophy is centered on introducing the produce of the Douro region through genuine sensorial experiences like the aromatic baths of either citrus fruits or wines, a Port wine wrap or an exfoliation with flowers and wild berries.
Also available at the hotel are a restaurant and several bars, as well as multi-purpose spaces for corporate or private events such as meetings, conferences or weddings. The hotel offers all the conditions for an unforgettable break or a successful business trip.
