Luso, Portugal
Bussaco Palace Hotel
A Manueline-Gothic palace rising from the Buçaco forest, this property holds dual recognition as Global Winner for Luxury Palace Hotel and Continent Winner for Luxury Castle Hotel. The architecture alone justifies the journey from Coimbra, with azulejo panels, carved stone arcades, and forest gardens that predate the building itself. It occupies a category of its own among Portugal's historic palace hotels.
