Grande Hotel do Porto

The Grande Hotel do Porto is located downtown, right at the city centre, where it enables its guests to immediately taste Porto’s culture. Monuments, churches, museums and theatres are all at walking distance. Charming and evocative of a long gone age, this is a carefully renovated relic of a hotel that is set on an all-pedestrian street with the densest collection of shops in central Porto. The hotel has been radically renovated in 2002, and now it shows an appealing combination of the 1950s with Belle Époque accessories. It was originally built in 1880 in a five store "Grand Hotel" format, which is still visible in its late Victorian facade and the elaborate exterior details.
