The rooms
Bathrooms are finished in marble with underfloor heating, and upper-floor rooms look out across the Douro River.

The basement health club holds Pilates reformer machines, mirrored workout areas, and an indoor squash court.
Bar
HUB Gastrobar
Set in the lobby, the bar pours wine and craft cocktails along an illuminated amber counter lined with velvet stools.

Up on the nineteenth floor, Auge pours Portuguese wines over city panoramas, and Madruga sets out the morning buffet.
How it began
Since opening in 1986, the hotel has gathered contemporary sculptures and paintings by notable Portuguese artists.
