Conímbriga Hotel do Paço
Rua Francisco Lemos, 43
3150-140 Condeixa-a-Nova

The Conímbriga Hotel do Paço is a historical place full of charm, refinement and tranquillity.
This space was formerly the Almadas Palace. The roots of this palace date back to the 14th century.
The building, considered one of the most important of Condeixa, was restructured in XIX.
In 1993, it underwent deep work and was transformed into a Hotel. In 2019, it became the Conímbriga Hotel do Paço.
Here, there were lodged individualities of the most distinguished nobility and European royalty. Some of the special guests of the former palace were King D. Manuel in1500, D. Catarina, on her return to the Kingdom after the death of her husband Charles II of England in 1704, D. Pedro II, Charles of Austria and, finally, the infant of Spain D. Carlos, brother of King Fernando VII.
This hotel is owned by the ADFP Foundation, a non-profit institution that represents an offer of tourism with a purpose. The profits generated here will be used in social projects supporting people with social needs and victims of work exclusion.
