Hi, This beautiful building is called Hotel Palacio, its located in Estoril.
During the war, it was a Spy`s Den. It was the favourite place of the Gestapo agents but the british intelligence also.
Located near the casino, it was a place of rumors. Listening to other peoples conversation was the topic of the day.

Starting with the period turistic brochure.

That place is very nice. Is it still that way?

Still existing today, it apears to have stoped in time.
Looks pretty much the same, except without the spy activity.
Cheers.

Yes Steve.
Its a 5 star hotel.
Beautiful as ever but without the glamour of the movie stars of the 1930`s and 40`s and the imense spy activity of the war.
