The hotel is located in Cascais, a fishing village that has grown in size and popularity in recent years.

During the 16th Century, Cascais became one of the first places in the country to have a lighthouse due to it strategic position. It was the first Portuguese place to be sighted by the navigators when returning from their long sea adventures.
