Hotel Fortaleza Do Guincho Relais & Chateaux is a five-star boutique hotel on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, 7 km from Cascais. The property, part of the Relais & Chateaux association, features 8 courtyard rooms with partial beach views through fortress windows and superior rooms with ocean-facing balconies.

The hotel's Gastronomic Restaurant, led by Executive Chef Gil Fernandes, holds one Michelin star and serves Portuguese cuisine using local ingredients. The casual Spot by Fortaleza offers sandwiches, salads, and draft beer with ocean views. Breakfast includes pastries, local cheeses, hams, and made-to-order eggs.
Cliffside Activities
Guests can explore Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point in continental Europe, or rent surfboards, kayaks, and bicycles. The region offers golf at Quinta da Marinha Golf Course (3 km away), kite surfing, and diving. The hotel's terrace is ideal for sunset drinks.
Near Cascais & Landmarks

“This hotel occupies a unique space within a historic fortress, a setting that immediately distinguishes it. I especially note the Michelin-starred restaurant, setting a high bar for dining experiences in Cascais. The proximity to both Guincho Beach and Sintra-Cascais Natural Park makes it ideal for those seeking both relaxation and outdoor activities, although some reports mention that service standards could be more consistent for a hotel of this caliber.”
