Located in a beautifully converted 16th-century palace, just inside 脡vora鈥檚 historic walls and with views of the city鈥檚 dramatic aqueduct, the M鈥橝R de AR Aqueduto is a sophisticated, contemporary hotel. Inside, the property is an elegant fusion of the modern and the historic. Grand vaulted ceilings and original stone staircases give way to chic new additions including a generous outdoor pool and garden area overlooked by huge windows and a stylish bar, all with views of the aqueduct.
The hotel's 64 rooms are furnished in a comfortable, modern style with neutral tones, clean lines, and hardwood floors.
For those wishing to dine at the hotel, there is a small bistro offering lighter dishes and an excellent wine list as well as the larger main restaurant, Degust'AR. Overseen by Chef Ant贸nio Nobre, the tasting menu here is very reasonably priced and well-worth sampling.
In the basement of the hotel you鈥檒l find the Spa Aqueduto complete with a large relaxation space, five treatment rooms, a sauna and a Turkish bath.
Carefully incorporated into its historic surroundings, we find the M’AR de AR Aqueduto to be a relaxing, modern hotel with plenty of charm.
