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.
