On the marina in the historic heart of Cascais, the upscale western suburb of Lisbon, a nineteenth-century manor house and a neighboring lighthouse have been painstakingly renovated, converted into a contemporary-style design hotel, complete with all the expected trappings: a Mediterranean fusion restaurant, a buzzing nightclub, and thirty-four rooms in a fashionable modern style, eleven of them individually decorated, each by a different moonlighting fashion designer.
The house style is a familiar blend of white walls, platform beds, hardwood floors and sleek minimal furnishings, the kind of look that’s just elegant enough, but stays out of the way of the views. From this rocky outcrop by the marina, you’re quite literally a stone’s throw from the water — with a good throw from your bedroom window you could probably toss your Molton Brown conditioner into the sea, if the thought possessed you. Upper-floor rooms are particularly dramatic, with full-length windows opening onto balconies above the rocks.
Many rooms come with whirlpool baths, and there’s a saltwater swimming pool and a massage facility at your service. An excellent Mediterranean fusion restaurant and a sushi bar see to your gustatory needs, and the nightlife comes in two speeds — classic lobby lounge and sensory-overload nightclub. Minutes from the Cascais city center and the beach, and half an hour from Lisbon.

The bathroom! It was very run down and did not match the rest of the room at all. facilities were old and out of fashion for a designer room.

What I liked:
The location was breathtaking. The view from the swimming pool terrace was amazing. Good breakfast buffet in the menu which was included in the price of the room.
What the hotel could do better:
The room service was really poor. We arrived at the hotel at 10.30pm and as we ordered room service we got transferred four times to the bar and back to the restaurant until the bar attendant said no food after 10.30pm can be served except toasts? At breakfast we asked for some maple syrup for the pancakes and they forgot about us twice. The room was at the lower ground floor and it felt a bit cold and dump. The bathroom was not updated and modern.
