The Best Hotel in Coimbra, Coimbra and Central Portugal

A stylish boutique option close to the university, Sapientia impresses with its attention to detail (think: a welcome glass of wine and thoughtful design elements) plus an excellent restaurant with one of the prettiest terraces in the city. Two pairs of architects worked on the project, which transformed three architecturally distinct buildings into one overwhelmingly chic hotel. A rooftop bar with lovely views over the city is another selling point, and it's a terrific place to watch the sunset.
