Luna Hotel Turismo is the leading 4-star hotel in Abrantes, part of the Portuguese Luna Hotels & Resorts group. Set at Largo de Santo António in the upper part of the historic centre, the hotel sits just 600 metres from the heart of Abrantes — a short walk to the castle, the Almeida Pantheon, the Iberian Museum of Archaeology and Art (MIAA), and the cafés and restaurants of the old town.
The hotel's signature feature is the Panorama Bar — a top-floor restaurant and bar with sweeping views over the city, the Tagus River valley, and the Alentejo plains to the south. The menu mixes Portuguese classics (beef steak with rustic potatoes, seared salmon with vegetables and wild rice) with international comfort food (carbonara, vegetarian lasagna), and the view itself makes it one of the most atmospheric meals in Abrantes. Open to non-guests by reservation (+351 241 247 110).
The property has 44 rooms in total, including three suites. All rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, modern bathrooms and the choice between city or valley views; the higher floors offer the better Tagus river panoramas. Family rooms are available for up to four guests.
Facilities are well above what's typical for a city of Abrantes's size: seasonal outdoor pool with sun terrace and garden, indoor spa with sauna and hot tub, fitness centre, shared lounge, bar, and 24-hour front desk. The hotel works well for both leisure travellers exploring the Médio Tejo region — including the Tagus DOP wine route and the surrounding marble and pottery villages — and for business stays.
Abrantes is 150 km / 1h30 northeast of Lisbon via the A1/A23 motorways, and about 1h45 by train (Lisboa Santa Apolónia → Abrantes). The hotel is a 5-minute taxi from Abrantes station.

Frequently asked questions
How far is the hotel from the castle and historic centre?
Walking distance — just 600 metres from the hotel to Abrantes Castle and the historic centre. A pleasant 8–10 minute walk through the upper old town, mostly downhill from the hotel. The Iberian Museum of Archaeology and Art (MIAA) is also walkable, plus the Almeida Pantheon and the cafés around Jardim da República.
Is the Panorama Bar restaurant open to non-guests?
Yes — the rooftop Panorama Bar welcomes non-guests by reservation (+351 241 247 110). The view over the Tagus river is one of the most spectacular in Abrantes, and the dinner setting is popular for special occasions. Lunch and afternoon drinks are also served. Smart-casual dress recommended.
How do I get to Luna Hotel Turismo from Lisbon?
By car: A1/A23 motorways, about 1h30 (150 km). Free parking available at the hotel. By train: Lisbon Santa Apolónia → Abrantes line, around 1h45 with services every 1–2 hours. From Abrantes train station, a 5-minute taxi ride (€5–€8) reaches the hotel. Direct shuttles from Lisbon Airport can be arranged through the hotel concierge.
Is there a pool and spa?
Yes — a seasonal outdoor pool (typically May to September) with sun terrace and garden, plus an indoor spa with sauna, hot tub, and a fitness centre. Spa treatments can be booked through the concierge. The outdoor pool is unheated; in shoulder season verify with the hotel before arrival.
Is the hotel a good base for exploring the Médio Tejo region?
Yes — Abrantes sits in the middle of one of Portugal's most under-visited historic regions. Tomar (with the Convent of Christ, UNESCO World Heritage) is 30 minutes by car; Constância (poet Camões's birthplace and Tagus river town) is 20 minutes; the Tagus DOP wine estates and olive oil producers are within 30 minutes; the Almourol Castle on its Tagus island is 30 minutes. The hotel's free parking makes a road-trip base easy.
