Dona Maria Hotel

This building, located on the river front of Figueira da Foz, dates from mid-century. XIX, and it was converted into a 4-star hotel unit. This was a work of renewal that will contribute to resurrite the tourist offer in Figueira da Foz, stating, by the excellence of its location and the uniqueness of the building in which it is inserted, as a differentiated unit, also vocated for stays off-season, supporting the area of ​​the city in which the services with a quality offer are more focused, simultaneously benefiting from the proximity of the marina and the beaches to the north and south of the mouth of the Mondego River.

Thus, this hotel unit was endowed with spaces that value the respective supply, without damaging the urban image and the set in which the building is inserted, but by adding necessary factors or values ​​to its feasibility.

On the ground floor it was restored the original design of the building’s facades, after it suffered changes due to the previous use for commercial establishments and service spaces that once occupied this building.

On the front of 5 de Outubro avenue we can also find a terrace that complements and serves the tourist support areas – reception, living room, bar (with breakfast room).

The building design was essentially maintained, benefiting the existing construction with the change at the ground floor level aforementioned, and considering two new pergoled terraces at the the roof level, thus taking advantage of the magnificent views on the marina and the mouth side of the Mondego river.
