Hotel Description
If you are looking for just a comfortable hotel in Coimbra , with a great central location and great views of the river, Hotel Astória will surely be an excellent choice. If, furthermore, you appreciate architecture, this hotel is a dream come true.The hotel is located in the heart of the city, in front of the Mondego River, next to the Medieval Baixa, where traditional commerce boils, and a stone's throw from the Upper Town, with its famous university and most of the historical secular attractions.
It occupies an Art Nouveau building, which is one of the architectural symbols of the city, and has hosted guests since 1926, in a perfect and period environment that preserves as its main characteristic. It has 62 rooms with magnificent views over the river and the Convent of Santa Clara or the picturesque village Alta.
Its imposing façade and its public areas, highlighting the lobby with its marbles, its forged irons and its modernist windows, to the exquisite "1920s" living room, to its majestic restaurant with its beautiful wood paneling , for the original lift, also made of wood and still in operation, constitute a journey in a bygone era. In the rooms, the furniture at the beginning of the hotel, the high ceilings, the decorative radiators and the old and deep baths, are also excellent examples of the time.
Everything is so original and so effortlessly preserved that it gives us the feeling of going back in time and entering a Great Gatsby setting, which makes the Astoria the place to accommodate connoisseurs of something other than boring hotels that can be found anywhere in the world - but if you do not appreciate antiques, this will certainly not be for you.
The place reminds of a bygone era and is perfect for a nostalgic escape in this charming city, so if you appreciate the "old world", enjoy this trip in time and let yourself fall in love with Coimbra!
