Palácio Hotel do Buçaco
The Palácio Hotel do Buçaco (also Bussaco Palace Hotel ) is a hotel above the spa town of Luso , in central Portugal .
The Palácio do Buçaco was built by King Carlos in 1887 as a summer palace. Erected in neo- Manueline style according to plans by the Italian architect Luigi Manini , parts of the Convento de Santa Cruz do Buçaco were demolished for this purpose . Various hiking and walking trails lead from the building and its parks through the surrounding Serra do Buçaco .
In 1909 the palace was converted into a luxury hotel. Today it belongs to a Portuguese hotel group that was founded in 1917 and operates six historic hotels in Portugal.
