With a privileged location, right in the center of the city, Vila Galé Collection gave new life to the building of the old São Marcos Hospital, while simultaneously respecting the historical and architectural aspect of the space that impacted the lives of so many locals (and many others!).

Comprised of 123 rooms, Vila Galé Collection arrived in the city of the archbishops to honor its 2000 years of history – here traditional and modern are combined in a décor that highlights the original vaulted ceilings, as well as the building’s history which, in addition to being a hospital for about 500 years, was also a hospice and a Templar convent.

As we walk through the long corridors of Vila Galé, we see objects lent by the Santa Casa da Misericórdia (utensils used in the Hospital are on display, as well as some religious elements or even the benches that so many people recognize and that used to be in the hospital waiting rooms); along with the names of personalities that were important to the city of Braga – Dom Diogo de Sousa, founder of the São Marcos Hospital, is one of them.

Vila Galé Collection Braga is a haven in the middle of the city. With spacious rooms and a premium tailored service, this is an excellent choice for a weekend getaway for two or a longer family stay – Vila Galé is a child-friendly hotel, and we’re pretty sure they’ll love the pool slides and the innovation room, where everyone has the opportunity to participate in a virtual reality experience.

To revisit the past and for an unforgettable trip, the Vila Galé Collection Hotel is an ideal suggestion – especially for those who like to walk; after all, it's in the heart of the city!

Cool Tip: The Vila Galé group produces its own olive oil, vinegar, jams and wine. At Vila Galé Collection Braga you can purchase these products – take the opportunity to visit the wine cellar, a true hidden treasure with the original ceilings of the convent that once existed here.
