The Revival of a Grand Dame

Ain't life Grand?

AVENIDA DA REPÚBLICA 171, 8900 VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTÓNIO | ALGARVE | PORTUGAL

The Revival of the Grand Dame

Situated in the Algarve’s eastern most corner, nestled across the river from Spain, Grand House is a stunning Belle Époque hotel, a revived Grand Dame that received a new lease of life, becoming the first five-star hotel in the historical town of Vila Real de Santo António. We created our Grand House as if it were a Grand Residence, not a hotel. We planned it as an opulent family house, adding the highest level of detail.  

Feel our Grand Authenticity, Simplicity and Soul! Ain't life Grand?

Grand Living

Curl up with a book in one of the hotel’s nooks, linger in the cosy library and let the warmth of the sun-drenched rooms inspire you. Honouring the hotel’s rich history, the 26 rooms and suites boast an array of period details, including intricate molding, antique pieces and glamorous crystal-festooned chandeliers.

Destination

With its empty beaches, quaint, century-old towns and lip-smacking fresh seafood, Portugal’s Eastern Algarve is an undiscovered gem. One of the country’s best-kept secrets, this special destination is a tribute to tradition, a song of saudade, an emotional state of mind that describes the Portuguese soul and identity by preserving ancient history, a unique cultural heritage, traditional crafts and a unique ecosystem.

Our Junior Butler Grand

Being a pet friendly hotel, we have a very special Junior Butler: GRAND. The Portuguese Water Dog is not only the ambassador of our pet-friendly Hotel. She is also our good soul, working in the customer service, where her affectionate, social nature makes her the perfect fit for this role.

Our Grand Magazine

We like to think of our Grand House as a Grand Dame. She is almost 100 years old, itself a book with thousands of pages of stories. No wonder, then, that we thought it was time to put the Grand Dame's life on paper. We are very happy to present you the first issue of our Grand Magazine.

BEST BUDDY FOR SOLO TRAVELLER

Originally used as a soul comforter and safety distance keeper during the Corona period, Theodore the Bear has become a much-loved mascot of our Grand House. And the perfect buddy for all solo travellers. If you're feeling lonely, just get him by your side.
