Grand House Algarve
After being neglected for decades, this grand dame—the oldest hotel in the eastern Algarve dating from 1926, when Vila Real de Santo António was the center of the tinned-fish trade—has been returned to its former glory. The elegant building is full of period details like sweeping staircases, marble columns, and crystal chandeliers. The rooms don't quite match up in style—but are spacious, with artwork that recalls the city's heydey.
