THE HISTORY
The Pousada of Cascais is set within the walls of the 16th century Citadel in the centre of this delightful coastal town. The Citadel and the inner Fortress of Our Lady of Light (Nossa Senhora da Luz) were used between the 15th and 17th centuries for defending the Portuguese coast and the mouth of the River Tagus from French, English and Arab pirates. In the 19th century the Citadel was the summer residence of the royal family.

MEETINGS & EVENTS
EVENTS IN THE ART DISTRICT
The Pestana Cidadela de Cascais has so many extraordinary spaces where you can hold your event that it will be impossible to do the planning without visiting all of them.
The spaces are unique and extraordinary, as varied as the Cistern room, with its Gothic and medieval environment; and Conde de Cantanhede room, with the possibility to offer a banquet for 300 people.
ROOMS & SUITES
The Pestana Cidadela’s decor gives prominence to a project that is rare in Europe : an Art District within a hotel. In the 126 rooms, including 16 junior suites, 1 suite with sea view and 1 presidential suite, in addition to 17 author’s rooms, art and design lend each space an identity of its own. Staying here is almost like visiting a gallery, where every nook and cranny reveals surprising works by young artists. The presidential suite exhibits the works of Nadir Afonso, one of Portugal’s most prominent painters of the 20th and 21st centuries.
With views overlooking the fortress itself, or of the sea and the Cascais marina, the rooms - some with balcony - provide a sense of well-being and harmony, where aesthetics predominate.
In the Author Rooms, which suffered interventions from resident artists of the citadel, you can also live unique and inspiring evening. After all, the greatest luxuries of all are time and space to enjoy the true beauty and in it be able to rest
