Dating to the early 1500s, this hotel was once a pilgrim hospice and Templar convent. It has been enlarged and modernized, and has been beautifully renovated—even retaining its original vaulted ceilings. Its prime location in the middle of town makes it a convenient base for exploring Braga's many historical and religious monuments. Amenities include a bar and two restaurants, outdoor areas, gardens, a swimming pool, and spa.
