What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Tucked into Porto’s old quarter, Wine & Books Porto draws from the city’s deep ties to literature and winemaking. Interiors are well-composed, with warm wood and moody lighting.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along central Rua de José Falcão, the hotel places Baixa's historic cafes, tiled alleys, and São Bento station within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Rooms feature custom bookshelves, neutral textiles, and rainfall showers, with selected rooms offering balconies looking toward the Clérigos Tower.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White daybeds draped in sheer fabric line the heated subterranean pool and its marble deck.
Spa, sauna, and gym
A glass-fronted cedar sauna sits near dedicated treatment rooms and a mirrored fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Tasca da Memória
The kitchen reinterprets traditional northern Portuguese recipes, and regional wines pour at the curved wood bar.
At the table
The rooftop terrace looks out across Porto's rooftops, and the salon serves wine among backlit bookcases.
How it began
Opened in 2022 within a restored nineteenth-century townhouse, the hotel pays homage to classic Portuguese authors and historic viticulture.
