It's smart, it's sleek, it's comfortable. And its positioning doesn't get better than this: smack in front of Batalha's extraordinary monastery (it was a former pousada – the official and very plush hotels owned by the Portuguese government). Many rooms have amazing vistas and balconies; second floor rooms feature vaulted ceilings. The sexy B&W photo exhibition of battlefield-ready models is interesting.
The restaurant's terrace is extremely popular for a drink over monastery views.
