SPEAKERS

VENUE

Hotel Palácio Estoril

The Hotel Palácio Estoril takes you back in time, but on a journey that also continues into the present and the future. Built in 1930, today the Hotel Palácio retains many of the characteristics from that period. The atmosphere of exclusivity that pervades the Hotel makes an impression on everybody who enters it, from its imposing, entirely white facade and beautiful gardens, to the elegant and classic decor, which has been updated over the years but without losing its timelessness, luxury and sophistication.
During WWII, due to Portugal remaining neutral, several royal families went into exile in Estoril, which became known as the Coast of Kings. The Hotel Palácio was the chosen home of numerous members of European royalty and was also a favorite haunt among British and German spies, who could often be found in the hotel’s bar. Later, these stories of intrigue and espionage inspired famous novelists and filmmakers, and the Hotel served as the set for the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
