Why guests love itArriving by car from Porto, a couple appreciated the free valet parking at Hotel Avenida Palace, then forgot about the car entirely. Breakfast in the grand Palace Lounge started each day, but the moment they kept returning to was evening on the rooftop terrace, with Restauradores Square below and St. George's Castle across the way catching the last light. The atmosphere is elegant and calm; anyone after a modern party rooftop will find it too formal.
