Hotel de Guimarães

Description:

• We still prefer to stay at either of the pousadas we recommended, but this big, government-rated four-star hotel is a good alternative if you want lots of amenities. Favored by business clients and tour groups, it lies at the center of the historic core. The contemporary decor is tasteful, and the bedrooms are midsize to spacious, each with a good-size bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The hotel also offers the best facilities at the resort, including a gym and an indoor swimming pool. If you don't demand character and charm from your hotel but like to be buffeted in comfort with many distractions, including bars and on-site dining, this is the best choice.
