The grand hotel opened in July 2014 and is situated next to the Nadir Afonso Arts Center. Nestled in a charming space marked by an unequaled natural beauty, the hotel has contemporary facilities and pays homage to the painter, architect, and philosopher, Nadir Afonso. Paintings, tapestries, photo galleries, and books of the great master of contemporary Portuguese painting of the 20th century decorate the hotel. 

Alongside the comfortable rooms, The Spa & Health Club allows guests to relax and rejuvenate, whether in the indoor, heated pool, gym, Jacuzzi, steam room, or outdoor pool. Other services include hosting events, the preparation of a ‘Barrosinho picnic’, and providing a multipurpose area within the Arts Center. Voucher experiences are also available for purchase.

Gastronomic mastermind Chef Justa Nobre and the resident chef David Nobre offer guests the best flavors of Barroso. The hotel’s bar, ‘Bar-vinotecs’, presents guests with a selection of drinks and an array of snack boards.
