Located in the historic centre of Belém, the hotel enjoys a prime position near the Tagus River and within easy reach of historical monuments such as: the Tower of Belém; the 16th century Jerónimos Monastery; the Padrão dos Descobrimentos – a monument celebrating the great Portuguese explorers; and the bakery Pastéis de Belém - home to the famous Portuguese custard tart.
Palácio do Governador occupies the site of the house of the former governor of the Tower of Belém, above Roman ruins from the 1st to 5th century. The current structure has been beautifully rebuilt retaining many of the original features including vaulted ceilings and Azulejos wall tiles. This grand building, reminiscent of the splendour of the discoveries era, has a garden with an outdoor swimming pool and a Spa that uses ancient Mediterranean, Arabic and Indian thermal treatments inspired by the Portuguese discoveries. The guestrooms are all different sizes and shapes and offer an elegant and modern décor.
