The Albatroz Hotel in Cascais offers six meeting rooms for board meetings, presentations, private lunches and small company events, the largest about 110 square meters, all inside a group of historic seaside buildings above the Bay of Cascais. It suits teams that want a small seminar by the sea, about 30 minutes from central Lisbon.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells meetings and events, with meeting packages and a team that arranges rooms, meals and equipment. The rooms differ in size and character, so an organiser can hold a plenary in one room and split into smaller groups in the others. Several have natural light and views of the beach and the Atlantic. Business lunches can take place in a private room next to the restaurant. For a team outing, the hotel runs The Albatroz, a yacht that sails along the Estoril coast with its own crew.
Rooms and capacities
The Duques de Loulé room, about 110 square meters, is the largest space. It sits next to reception and opens onto the main terrace, which allows a coffee break or a reception outdoors. The Dom Carlos room is on the lower floor, facing the beach and the sea. The Nobre room, about 50 square meters, also has a sea view. The Estar room takes up to 30 people for a meeting or a private dinner. The Dom Luis room extends the restaurant and works for meals or meetings. The Palmela room, about 50 square meters on the ground floor, is meant for small meetings and presentations. The hotel gives layouts and capacities for each room on request.
Accommodation
Bedrooms are spread across several historic buildings that have kept their original architecture. Each room is decorated individually and has been refurbished. Guests also have a sea-view pool with a sun terrace and a panoramic bar over the bay, which makes the hotel a comfortable base for a two-day board retreat.
Catering
The Albatroz restaurant serves Mediterranean cooking built around fish and seafood, mixing traditional dishes with a contemporary approach. A terrace menu runs through the afternoon, breakfast is served on the terrace, and an adjoining room hosts family or business lunches and private dinners. The bar and terrace look over the Atlantic.
History and setting
The hotel occupies a set of 19th-century buildings on the rocks above Praia da Conceição, in the center of Cascais. The main house was a summer residence of the Dukes of Loulé at the time when the Portuguese court spent its summers in Cascais, and the names of the meeting rooms recall that period. The hotel is in the old town, close to the beaches, the marina and the restaurants, yet away from traffic. Sintra is a few minutes inland by car.
Getting there
Cascais station, the end of the coastal train line from Cais do Sodré in Lisbon, is a short walk from the hotel. Central Lisbon is about 30 minutes by car and Lisbon airport about 40 minutes.
