The Grande Hotel Do Porto is a traditional and charming property, adorned with a carved sandstone façade, corrugated iron gates and balconies painted white. Radically renovated, the interior boasts an appealing combination of 1950s formality and Belle Epoque accessories. The 99 spacious guestrooms are comfortably appointed with traditional antique features, such as dark oak wood and soft fabrics, which maintain an 18th century ambience. All are clean and well maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms with tub/shower combinations. In the hotel’s Renascença Restaurant, sparkling chandeliers and stucco cornices complement Portuguese and international cuisines. The Douro Bar, meanwhile, offers the relaxing environment ideal for a drink in the end of the day.
