Lawrences Hotel
Historic country manor with a spa, library, and elegant dining
About this stay
Stepping into Lawrences Hotel is like entering a bygone era, where old-world charm meets modern comfort. This renovated countryside manor exudes a sense of history, with each room thoughtfully appointed with antique furniture, decorative headboards, and eiderdowns. The elegant restaurant, with its French windows, offers a delightful setting for enjoying international and regional dishes, including fresh seafood and homemade treats. Guests can unwind in the library, a quiet haven for reading, or enjoy a drink at the bar, which serves specialty wines and aperitifs until late. The spa provides a perfect escape for relaxation after a day of exploring Sintra's wonders.

Our take
Lawrences is a five-star hotel in a renovated historic manor, with antique furniture, a library, an elegant restaurant and a spa. Its character is the reason to book. An 8.2 rating is below the area's best scores, so I would choose it for the setting rather than for flawless service, and travellers wanting a pool or large family facilities should compare other Sintra addresses.
- Explore the library for a quiet afternoon with a good book.
- Dine at the elegant on-site restaurant to sample regional specialties.
- Take advantage of the spa facilities for a relaxing end to your day.

Why guests love itI recommend Lawrences to travellers who want Sintra's romantic side indoors as well as out. The renovated manor keeps a library and an elegant restaurant, and rooms are furnished with antiques and plush armchairs, with modern air conditioning. A spa takes care of tired legs after the climbs to the palaces, and families are welcome, though the atmosphere suits calm evenings more than lively ones.
