LAWRENCE'S HOTEL

THE OLDEST HOTEL ON THE IBERIAN PENINSULA

since 1764

Lawrence’s Hotel is the oldest hotel on the Iberian Peninsula, having welcomed such illustrious guests as Lord Byron and the great Portuguese writer, Eça de Queiroz. Each of the 16 rooms and suites are unique. There are no numbers on the doors, but names imbued in history. A sojourn or meal at Lawrence’s is like stepping back into the Romantic era, with all the comfort of the present.

Accommodations

Lawrence’s Hotel maintains the intimate old-world charm and personalized service of a country inn. Each of the eleven rooms and five suites, some of which boast a fireplace, are individually decorated. In keeping with the hotel’s philosophy of preserving its romantic atmosphere, here you will find rooms with names rather than numbers, keys rather than plastic cards, and beautiful polished oak floors in lieu of carpets.

Eça de Queiroz, The Maias

“The dinner at Lawrence’s stretched out until eight o’clock, complete with candlelight; - and Alencar talked ceaselessly. For that day he had forgotten all of life’s disappointments, all of his literary grudges, he was in an excellent mood; and out came tales of the good old days in Sintra.”
