Fatima in Portugal is a very popular tourist city. The city is told that the place of Virgin Mary appeared. The Memorial Church of Virgin Mary attracts many tourists from all over the world.

There are many famous hotels in Fatima. One such hotel is the Hotel Coracao de Fatima, located near The Memorial Church of Virgin Mary. The hotel is not only in the city center of Fatima but also has many famous attractions around. So it is easy to reach on foot and has a good reputation from tourists.

Another reason for the hotel's high reputation is its beautiful interior. The famous hotel information site is full of tourist reviews about the hotel, most of which are "The hotel is so beautiful". Indeed, reporter stayed at the hotel for a few days in late August 2019 and saw for themselves that the reviews of these tourists were not exaggerated.

Among the interiors of Hotel Coracao de Fatima, reporter's eye-catching spots were the lobby, the hotel's common part. The lobby is the place that determines the impression of the hotel.

So hotels spend the most effort on the interior of the lobby. This is no exception.
To sum up the lobby of Hotel Coracao de Fatima, the interior space is beautiful, comfortable and family atmosphere. reporter can feel free and easy at this atmosphere because reporter used environmentally friendly architecture and interior materials a lot.

The lobby, with the proper use of stone and the tables, sofas and partitions made of wood and natural fabrics, envelops the viewer's heart. In addition, the use of intensely colored fabrics gave a visual point.

The lighting was also treated with European-style lighting fixtures with large round globes and natural wood frames, large and small stands, ceiling indirect lighting and pendants.

As a result, the interior does not feel dazzling or overly bright. Sitting on a large table or sofa in the lobby, or on a chair next to a round table, sitting and drinking tea or having a chat doesn't make reporter's  eyes tired, the interior doesn't feel boring, and you're comfortable.

It is the result of this interior and lighting that the hotel is uniquely named as a "family-friendly hotel" among tourists.

Even in the same Europe, Spain shows a different architecture and interior design than any other European country. Similarly, the architecture and interior of Portugal has another originality from Spain. It is a simple yet relaxed interior.

The best place to show this Portuguese architectural and interior design is to say that Hotel Coracao de Fatima is not too much. Among them, most beautiful place is the lobby of the hotel. Personally, the lobby of the Hotel Coracao de Fatima can be said to be "an example of good architecture, interior and lighting design."

Reporter think the best architecture, interior and lighting design is 'to feel in a safe, convenient, visually interesting and change tidy'.
