you may think that a four star rating means that this hotel is pretty good at most things but that is far from true. The hotel is fantastic for certain things and found wanting on some others. firstly the good news. The location of the hotel is excellent. its a short walk from the centre of town perched on a...

Spent two nights at the Farol Hotel. The design of the Hotel is definitely very nice, reading the reviews I think we were quite lucky with the room we got. The terrace was beautiful and it was definitely great waking up in the morning and seeing the ocean straight from bed. As many reviewers have said, and I must confirm,... More

everything is top notch here. The scenery is not to be missed. Very romantic and relaxing. Close to many surroundings including the lighthouse and Boca de Inferno. I would defiantly come back to the beautiful place on the sea. We got the romantic package and staff brought strawberrys, wine and champagne to our room. Also the Sushi is fabulous from... More

The term "design hotel" is bandied about quite a lot these days, often by hotels that believe that buying a "Ghost" chair makes them different. However the Farol Design Hotel is possibly one of the most appropriately described by the term in the world. Perched right on the rocks above the Atlantic, it has the most stupendous view right over... More

I heard a lot about that hotel before booking it. Beeing part of Design hotels brand I expected the top of the top. It really has an amazing location, and a beautiful treated design all over. The pool is wonderful, the breakfast room really lights up your mornings and the service is very helpful (congratulations specially to the pool staff,... More

Stayed in the Ana Salazar suite, having chosen it for the view. With that as our sole criterion for picking it, it definitely delivered - but that's about all that was exceptional about the experience. The room itself was basically a regular-sized room with a corridor where they had a desk. Nothing about it justified the 'suite' moniker. The bathroom... More

I stayed in the hotel during business kick off. Positive points: impressive views, than higher the best. Helpful staff. Not ordinary design. Could be better: rooms and decoration details quality. 5star hotels where I stayed before made more impression on me. Farol is good hotel but not luxury and special among other. Breakfast is normal for 1 night stay but... More

We were expecting something special and by and large the hotel delivered, though there was a little bit of an out of season feel to proceedings. A bit like they were more concerned with next week's guests. The room was OK, but not as special as in pictures. Air conditioning too loud for comfort. Quite dark in the room in... More

You know how you look at photographs of a hotel - it looks good - but then when you get there you discover that the photograph has been taken from a really clever angle that manages to expertly disguise the ugly feature, or just exclude the power station next door? Well, look at the photographs of the Farol Design Hotel... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Farol Hotel is literally located “on the water”, planted on the edge of the cliffs of Cascais, overlooking the Atlantic. Cascais, a town of charming old houses and cobbled streets huddled around a graceful bay on Portugal’s spectacular Estoril Coast, is a mere 35-minute drive from Lisbon and likewise from the capital’s international airport.Budget and main carriers fly to Lisbon daily from all major hubs of Europe, Frankfurt, Paris and London just as much as Stockholm, Zurich and Moscow. Arrived at Lisbon International Airport, guests may leisurely drop into the comfortable backseat of a pre-arranged hotel limousine and enjoy the short yet scenic trip to the hotel.The Design Hotel is composed of a daring architectural structure: a combination of a remodeled 19th century mansion, once owned by the Count of Cabral, and a unique contemporary design, resulting in a harmonious bridge of the old and the new. ... more   less
