Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort & Spa Resort is located just 16 kilometres away from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and seven miles from the famous Estoril coast, a splendid 545 acre estate and a five-star destination with 27 hole championship golf course plus a Six Senses Spa.
Taken over by Deutsche Bank Group recently and now under the management of The Ritz Carlton Hotel Company, more than 25 Billion US Dollars were invested in a major renovation programme which brought a new feel and modern look to Penha Longa Hotel & Golf Resort. The existing facilities and golf courses has been updated and the first Six Senses Spa in Europe was introduced.
All 194 guest rooms and suites, elegantly decorated with warm earthy tones and natural woods, feature spacious terraces and picture windows for breathtaking views of the countryside.
The resort's main restaurant has been re-decorated and renamed assMassa, which comes from the old Portuguese word where you come to bake. The new RC Bar and the new tea lounge called Tcha, both adjacent to the main lobby create a great atmosphere to enjoy and relax.
The conference facilities for business events and the new ballroom of 700 sqm meet even the sophisticated demand.
The Atlantic Course (see article), a world class 18-hole, par 72, championship course, designed by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., has been host of numerous golf events, such as the Portuguese Open.
