Guimaraes Hotels

Guimaraes – One of Portugal’s most beguiling small cities
The wonderfully atmospheric, compact city of Guimaraes is packed with medieval monuments and should be high on the list of any visitor to the beautiful Minho region of northern Portugal. Most visitors will want a hotel in the historic centre of Guimaraes, with its impressive castle, medieval churches and convents, charming square, picturesque cobbled lanes, interesting museums, and lively, characterful bars and cafes. Having said that, most really cheap hotel accommodation in Guimaraes tends to be in rather old-fashioned guesthouses. Those looking for cheap discount hotels should consider comfortable, mid-range hotels like the Ibis Guimaraes or the Fundador hotel, opened in 2002.

Hotels in Guimaraes – Superb base for a lovely region
Many consider Minho the most beautiful region in Portugal, and hotels in Guimaraes make an excellent base for exploring its atmospheric market towns, charming rural villages, beautiful river valleys, and largely unspoilt coastline. Guimaraes is a short drive from the fascinating city of Braga and also makes a very distinctive base from which to enjoy all the delights of Porto. Guimaraes is a short drive north east from Oporto airport.

Discount Guimaraes hotels – Good mid-range and luxury options
The Hotel Guimaraes in central Guimaraes offers tasteful modern rooms and suites, and features luxury hotel facilities as well as a health club with gymnasium, sauna and steam baths. The Hotel Guimaraes also features one of the best hotel restaurants in Guimaraes. Another popular luxury hotel is the Toural, smaller than the Guimaraes but equally well located in the very heart of historic Guimaraes. Several hotels in Guimaraes have decent restaurants attached. There is quite a lot of hotel accommodation in Guimaraes and discount deals are common. However, summer visitors to Guimaraes will find cheap rooms hard to come by during the city’s colourful fiestas and festivals.
