History
Hotel Baía was the first hotel to be built in Cascais in 1962 , by the visionary João Soares , whose descendants still manage the Hotel (3rd generation). It was built at a time when Estoril was beginning to stand out as a luxury resort in Europe ("Costa del Sol"), with Hotel Palácio and Hotel do Parque, among others, while Cascais remained somewhat unexplored, mainly reserved for the national aristocracy and bourgeoisie, driven by D. Carlos I who spent his summer here every year with his family. In fact, the building where the Hotel stands today, included a café where many of them spent the afternoons: the elegant and emblematic "Café Tavares".
With a unique location, in the Centre of the Village and with front row seating in the Cascais Bay, Hotel Baía has been modernizing its rooms and common areas in order to keep up with fashion trends and meet customer needs, becoming the emblematic Hotel Baía, which is today widely awarded for its excellence in tourism.
