Vila Galé Collection Braga ★★★★

The birth of a new hotel

In its former life, it was the São Marcos Hospital, which was built in the sixteenth century, but when Vila Gale Collection Braga **** threw open its doors earlier this year, it featured all the modern comforts and convenience that you would expect from a stylish boutique hotel. That’s why you will see evidence of the historic structure and recovered elements, such as the original vaulted ceilings and cloisters, sitting alongside state-of-the-art facilities such as the Satsanga Spa with its therapy rooms and treatment menu.

Something for every age

With a range of historic, cultural and natural attractions to explore in the city, it makes sense that Vila Gale Collection Braga **** offers something for everyone, too. There is an outdoor pool for adults, a heated indoor pool for all ages and another child-focused outdoor swimming area with water slides. Not forgetting a beautiful garden that’s just waiting to be explored!

Looking to the future

Guests are already enjoying the newly opened hotel, and the future looks bright thanks to its city centre location. But when you aren’t out and about exploring, the rooms are a great place to relax. Pop on a bathrobe, recline on the comfy bed and turn on the LED TV. The rich red and purple colour scheme in the bedrooms is designed to promote relaxation. Or take a leap into another dimension in the hotel’s futuristic Innovation Room, where films are played using artificial reality.
