This
hotel
accomplishes
that
rare
feat
of
feeling
like
luxury
without
adding
a
hint
of
pretension.
We
stayed
for
four
nights
and
wished
we
could
have
stayed
for
10.
The
hotel
is
an
immaculately
restored
property
in
the
heart
of
the
old
downtown
of
Guimaraes.
The
designers
were
thoughtful
with
their
restoration,
in
that
the
hotel
is
beautiful
without
ruining
the
character
of
the
street
on
which
it
is
situated.
There
is
attention
to
detail
throughout
the
building,
be
that
in
the
furnishings,
the
art
and
decor,
or
most
notably,
the
service.
The
staff
at
Conquistador
Palace
made
us
truly
feel
at
home.
Tanya,
Soraia
and
Diana
all
staffed
the
front
desk
and
served
breakfast
and
evening
drinks
with
grace,
kindness
and
professionalism.
We
particularly
appreciated
Soraia's
efforts
to
go
above
and
beyond
by
making
non-alcoholic
cocktails,
which
she
did
admirably
well.
The
kitchen
and
cleaning
staff
were
equally
kind
and
professional.
We
appreciated
Alexis's
service
and
generous
attention
towards
us.
The
food
served
at
breakfast
was
a
step
above
what
we
saw
at
other
excellent
properties
in
Portugal,
and
it
was
always
a
delightful
way
for
us
to
start
our
day.
The
staff
also
helped
advise
us
as
we
explored
the
area
around
Guimaraes,
giving
us
wonderful
dinner
ideas
and
making
reservations
on
our
behalf.
In
all,
the
stay
at
Conquistador
Palace
was
the
very
best
part
of
our
two-week
trip
across
Portugal,
and
we
look
forward
to
returning.
