Lawrence's Hotel, located in Sintra, is currently the oldest functioning hotel on the Iberian Peninsula, with its history dating back to 1764. This historic establishment has remained active for more than two and a half centuries, becoming one of the popular choices for Chinese tourists when traveling in Europe.
Among its illustrious guests is Lord Byron, who found inspiration in its facilities during his visit to Sintra. The hotel also "sheltered" the work "Os Maias," one of the most important novels in Portuguese literature, written by Eusébio, demonstrating the strong connection of the establishment to the world of letters.
The hotel lives up to its literary heritage through a combination of modern luxuries and romantic details, while maintaining an English touch that reflects its origins and the British influence that marked its history over the years.
