The rooms, like most IHG hotels are extremely comfortable with nice amenities. Make sure you go to the spa. It has an indoor heated pool, dry sauna and steam room. All the seats at the hotel restaurant have a view of the ocean. If you eat at the restaurant, order the burger Big bonus is the staff... they are absolutely amazing and customer oriented. Starting with Margarida with reservations, she was very engaging before we even arrived, to include ensuring our special requests were met. Antonio at the front desk was super friendly and welcoming... I swear it seemed like we met a long lost relative! He was accompanied by a female intern, but I forgot her name. She was super nice and gave us a tour of the hotel. The spa staff... again, super friendly and welcoming. Although the hotel is near the wonderful Cascais, IHG Cascais is a wonderful destination itself.

Located just a brief 10 min walk from the adorable Marina, it is centrally located with a gorgeous view of the water. There is always someone to open the door for you on your arrival and you're greeted with a gorgeous spacious entrance into the hotel. Service is great -- especially the cleaners for the room. They would visit my room twice a day to endure I had water, that my slippers with ready for me beside my bed, a little chocolate each night before bed... their attention to detail made me think they should train other teams in the world. The grounds are beautiful complete with a pool with a gorgeous water view, a highly rated fancy restaurant that won't break the bank, a good breakfast buffet, a state of the art gym, a spa, and very spacious rooms and bathrooms. This hotel was great for a work conference and they handled hundreds of people with ease. This is a great example of how a top tier hotel should be ran. Outstanding!

Not long after we checked in, we received little desserts waiting for us in our room. The bedding, the bathroom, the balcony views were absolutely spectacular. We truly loved the complimentary indoor spa, it was very relaxing. The restaurants also serve some amazing food and cocktails. For an extra charge, the hotel was able to provide us transportation from the airport; they even arranged private transportation to drop us off at our airbnb when we had to check out the next day. The transportation service was great and very informative, we wound up using them to take us to the Sintra one day during our trip. We unfortunately only stayed one night and I wish we stayed longer, my husband constantly talk about coming back here. Cascais is an absolute gem of a town and I highly suggest spending a night here if you are ever in the area.

Otherwise, a 5 - Positive points: * Great Location for walking to the Cascais spots - go to the marina area - go to the light house - go to the museum across from the light house (I don't remember the name) - walk the streets of the old town - walk to the beaches and cliffs * Staff * View

The hotel itself self is beautifully decorated but the star of the show is the staff they could not have more accommodating nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed lunch on the terrace which was delicious and watching the falcon and his handler walking around keeping any annoying seagulls away was a treat. I traveled with my husband but we saw many family groups who were equally enchanted by this beautiful hotel

The renovation of the fantastic old house is made with the help of local architects and the building really gives you the feeling of the maritime Cascais.

From check-in to check out there were plenty of staff available at the front to assist with baggage. We made use of the spa including 60 min massages which were very relaxing and included 30 minutes of tea time before and after the massage. We also used the dynamic indoor heated pool which is free to access for hotel guests. The food at breakfast is fresh, large amount of choices. The seats in the breakfast area are older with reduced support, one day we came later and were seated in the four seasons grill dining area which has much more comfortable seating. We also enjoyed the food at Organic Caffe in the spa building, room service and a dinner at Grill Four Seasons which is by reservation only. The loss of one star is for the overall age of the hotel. We could see cracks in the walls of our hotel room, the bed is uncomfortable with a large spring mattress and thin foam mattress pad on top - uncomfortable for side sleepers. However we had our room serviced and the cleaning staff was excellent.

What an amazing historical hotel!…read more The staff was beyond nice and helpful. The hotel boasts some serious history, you've got to take a walk around and look at the all the pictures, and artifacts in display. The morning breakfast was fantastic. The bar served up some great cocktails too. The rooms are on the small side but they have so much richness to them. There is a golf course associated with the hotel as well that was fun to play! 10/10 would return!

Just my opinion but it's truly great thing when we get out of our comfort zones and embrace local cultures. This hotel is centrally located to the water and just far enough from town to be a quiet break from town. No irons in room and no irons available so don't expect to get one. Need something ironed? Front desk drop off only.

Let's start with the good: -Very clean…read more-Incredibly friendly staff (special shout-out to the evening front desk manager who helped us navigate the trains and even gave us his fare card) -good location (very easy walk to downtown and near lots of museums) -incredible view Okay, so now onto the not so good: -It appears much more spacious online. There is only one restaurant and one bar (pool bar was closed for the season by the time we traveled). Also, the restaurant is only an over-priced buffet for all meals. No thanks! They claim to have a jacuzzi, but we never did find it. The room was not nearly as large was depicted. -Now onto the room...the bed was rock hard! It was like sleeping on a board. Plus the sheet was too short for the bed so your feet got caught on it each night. Our room was supposed to have a queen bed...it was two independent twin beds shoved together and made separately. This was fine, as I was traveling with my mom, but still odd. We had a kitchenette...the fridge door kept falling off (even after asking for repairs) and the oddest set of dishes to fill it. No knife for cutting. No wine glasses (but we did have ice cream sundae glasses?). No way to make coffee or tea. No free safe...daily fee that amounted to nearly 20 euro for the week. Very poor lighting with questionable safety on some of the lamps. The tub sat at such a height difference above the floor that getting out (without handrails) was always precarious. -Other stuff: Breakfast was included for most but not us (we were using TimeShare points). This was really disappointing and made for uncomfortably hungry mornings. Plus, without a way to make coffee in the room, this really sucked. In all, if I were to return to Cascais, I would not plan to stay here. There are plenty of other options in this adorable little town.

They are very attentive, helpful and lovely. Barbara the receptionist is a gem with her recommendations and her demeanor you really feel like you are being treated like royalty. Everyone who we have encountered are fabulous!! The breakfast chef and crew are vibrant and helpful the food was delicious!! Cascais appears to be extremely windy in May but it is a wonderful place to visit.
