Fodor's Expert Review Mercure Figueira da Foz

Looking like it belongs on Miami Beach, this 1950s-era hotel has a sleek mid-century modern exterior and a perfect location on the broad, sandy beach. From the glossy marble lobby to the slick modern rooms, the decor is inviting. Rooms are spacious and airy, with sea views costing slightly more than city views. Seafront rooms have small balconies, and the large pool has a view of the beach. The restaurant, Astrolabio, serves international dishes as well as regional specialties.
