The Best Hotels in Fátima, Portugal, for Every Traveller

Meaning the “Heart of Fátima”, this boutique hotel certainly puts you in the very centre of things, with the strikingly modern, low-lying Basílica da Santíssima Trindade (Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity) just a minute away on foot. Updated, architect-led interiors at the hotel are an elegant combination of plush fabrics and patterned detailing, dialled down for a calming effect in the guest rooms. Some of which open onto balconies within eyeshot of the basilica.

With its liberal use of shimmering gold against black and white, the upscale Aurea Fátima Hotel aims to dazzle. The refined sparkle extends to the guest rooms, too, which include snuggly robes and head-pleasing pillow menus. Take some time out at the spa, with its sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi, before heading to the restaurant for sampling traditional Portuguese flavours with a twist. Set on the main tree-lined avenue in town, the hotel is also just a 5-minute walk from the centre and can organise horse riding trips out in the Serras de Aire mountains, too.
