Loved by Pestana Cidadela Cascais - Pousada & Art District guests
"Beautiful hotel situated in the old Fort in Cascais, great welcome, reception staff superb."
"The roof top bar with a view over the marina and the ocean is exceptional."
"The art district that surrounds the hotel adds a lot of value and interest to the property."
The 5-star luxury Pestana Cidadela Cascais - Pousada & Art District hotel is situated in an exclusive area of Cascais boasting views of Cascais Marina. With a prime location nearly a 5-minute stroll from the Museum of the Sea, the modern hotel also features a ballroom.

The surroundings include parks, which are close to the accommodation. The Duchess beach is also situated just 1.1 km away.

Such spa facilities as a sauna and locker rooms are available on site. The Pestana Cascais also provides a business centre for those arriving on business.
“Pestana Cidadela Cascais occupies a prime spot in Cascais, within the walls of a historic fortress and right next to the marina, but it has signs of needing refurbishment. The art district concept is genuinely unique, with galleries and artist-designed rooms adding a vibrant cultural layer that you won't find elsewhere, still I'm not sure the experience meets 5 stars expectations.”

Acceptable Location with Service Issues
central locationpoor serviceinadequate breakfast
The location was key it was right in the middle of everything.
The breakfast buffet was adequate but not 5-star the service was pretty awful. I expected to be seated and asked if I wanted coffee but you were told to find seats and fight to get coffee. Staff was short staffed or poorly trained. It was 4pm before our room was serviced each day so there were not enough staff.

Underwhelming Stay Despite Promising Features
missing safeunexpected charges
My room lacked a safe. This was inconvenient . The complimentary coffee pods were unexpectedly charged at the end of my stay. I found that signage regarding charges would have been helpful. The dark room was also a bit of a downer.

great welcomelarge roomamazing castlelimited equipment
the welcome was great. the rooms were larger than expected. the fact that i stayed in a castle was amazing. the location was perfect for exploring the town.
I found the gym equipment selection a bit limited. There were only a few machines available. a greater variety of equipment would improve the workout experience.
