10/10 Amazing!
lindanyc22
I wish I could stay at this hotel whenever I travel! 5 stars all the way! Gorgeous, clean and modern. 10/10 for service, amenities and atmosphere. I stayed 3 nights with my mom. Bathroom was large with plenty of room to neatly store all our makeup and toiletries. An actual shower DOOR and not those half glass half open situations that gets the floor all wet. Lots of closet and drawer space. The TV was in a giant mirror on the wall. Breakfast was OUTSTANDING. The food and service 100/10. I'm still thinking about it. Champagne, fresh pressed juices, komboucha, lots of fresh fruit, pastries, basically anything you could want. PLUS a menu for eggs, french toast, etc.
The wine tasting experience in the bar was excellent. B. Zein was amazing at explaining each wine and the charcuterie board was beyond delicious.
The spa was such a treat at the end of the day for a soak or steam. I miss this place so much.
Ricardo at the front desk was lovely as well as the doorman (tall with glasses).
I would live in this hotel if i could.
We had lunch at the Japanese restaurant, it was lovely.
If you are visiting Porto, please stay here, you will not regret it. It is also in a great location, walkable to everything.

Oh my, do I love this hotel!
JaimeUSA
Oh my do I love this hotel! Just wanted to dash off a quick note to share our feelings. It was one of those times when the hotel and the city blend into an unforgettable experience. Can't wait to return to Porto and The Monumental Palace.
Loved the service level and the special and unique architecture and design. I was a bit worried about the rooms as we like and usually pay for a larger room or suite. The room size with the high ceilings and copious storage was very good. The plaza/boulevard view was very nice. The windows opened for fresh air also. (FYI, with the double windows closed there was not any street noise.)
Summary:
Front desk: excellent
Bell staff and housekeeping: excellent
Rooms: Delightful
Design and architecture: One of kind
Breakfast: Very good.
Restaurant: Very elegant as much of Porto is. Michelin starred.
Sorry for the quick summary.
Note: As part of stay it included a wine tasting. We weren't expecting much and were half tempted to not do it since we have been to hundreds of wine tastings since it's our hobby. However, it was wonderful. The lounge is not to be missed. It's not huge but every inch of it is done in early 1900s modern and you will not be able to resist taking photos of all the special design details. The wine bartender was outstanding and made the evening.
