Hotel Orion

Perched in the heart of Alto de Porvorim, this city-center hotel puts you minutes from Miramar Beach, Sinquerim Beach and Fort Aguada. Casino Royale, the Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, Panaji Bridge and the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary are all close by — great for quick beach runs and daylight detours.

The vibe is simple and warm, with rooms that feel lived-in rather than staged. Forty-two air‑conditioned rooms come with private patios, refrigerators and minibars. Expect clean private bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Accessibility is covered with an elevator, and English‑speaking staff can help book local tours.

Dip into an outdoor pool or keep up your routine in the fitness center. Wi‑Fi is available (surcharge). Practical perks include free parking, laundry and dry cleaning, car rental help, a safe‑deposit box, on-site shopping and tour/ticket assistance — handy for planning beach days or bird-watching trips.

The on-site restaurant serves meals with an attached bar vibe, and limited room service is available. Start the day with a complimentary breakfast before heading out to explore the coast or the city.
