Hotel Astoria

About

Astória Hotel stands as a stunning Art Nouveau‑Art Deco masterpiece in the heart of Coimbra, Portugal. Built in the 1920s, the building has been meticulously preserved, retaining original furnishings, marble lobby, and a grand paneled restaurant that transport guests back to a bygone era. The hotel’s central location is a stone’s throw from the historic university, charming cobbled streets and the Mondego River, offering striking city and river views from many of its rooms. Family‑run for three generations, Astória Hotel prides itself on a warm, intimate atmosphere and personalized service – an appealing contrast to the impersonal experience of many large chains. While the historic décor may mean the rooms feel older – with occasional creaky beds and vintage tiles – the overall experience is widely praised for its beauty, hospitality and authentic old‑world charm.
