Hotel do Parque  

Tucked into Viana do Castelo’s city park, about 100 meters from the centenary Eiffel Tower and a short walk to the town center. A handy base for Camino de Santiago pilgrims and just a quick drive from Cabedelo beach, popular with surfers and wind sports fans.

Completely refurbished in 2018, the hotel blends park-side calm with a sun-drenched terrace and garden for lounging. Rooms vary by category but typically include a TV and private shower; the hotel also offers guarded private parking, luggage storage and multilingual staff (English, Spanish, French).

Take a dip in the more-than-25-meter pool or the outdoor pool, unwind in the hot tub, or catch rays on the terrace and garden sunbeds. There’s a fitness center, storage for surf and bike gear, car hire and transfers, a tour desk to book excursions, two private guarded parks, laundry and ironing services, and elevator access for guests with reduced mobility.

Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, plus express check-in/out, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes to keep work and travel running smoothly.

Start each day with breakfast on-site and a freshly brewed coffee from the café. Evenings are for the hotel bar or a drink on the terrace, with vending machines for light refreshments and easy access to the city’s local gastronomy.
