What they say
Michelin Selected

Stone walls and herringbone floors strike classic notes, but the furnishings and décor are as contemporary as can be, full of saturated colors…
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
São Bento Station sits just around the corner, and the Douro riverfront is an easy stroll downhill.
The rooms
Fluted wood headboards and stone walk-in showers define the bedrooms, and selected rooms open onto balconies over the street.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Petrol-blue mosaic tiles line the heated indoor pool, where a waterfall pours beside a glass-fronted dry sauna.
The spa & gym

Tables spread from vaulted stone dining rooms onto Rua das Flores, serving Northern Portuguese petiscos and Douro wines.
