Torel Avantgarde
Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Se, Miragaia, Sao Nicolau e Vitoria, Porto
MICHELIN Guide
“Torel Avantgarde, in the riverside city of Porto, takes art as its inspiration, and the name has a double meaning — it’s a reference to a local architecture and design movement dating back to the ’30s and ’40s, as well as a description of the kind of artists to whom the hotel is dedicated.”
