Overview

With its sunny yellow exterior and charmingly eccentric interior design, Pestana Vintage Porto provides modern accommodation with an authentic vintage charm. The hotel itself comprises several buildings dating back to the 16th Century that have been rebuilt as a contemporary hotel, commemorating more than 2000 years of Porto’s history. The hotel offers a restaurant with an integrated bar, plus an additional bar and bistro to cover all your culinary needs, as well as a fitness centre and spa.

The hotel is located atop the iconic Douro River, right in the heart of the charming and historic Ribeira Square, meaning you’ll never be more than a stone’s throw from a plethora of incredible experiences and stunning sights. Several of Porto’s hotspots are also nearby, including the cultural landmark Palacio da Bolsa, which is just a half a mile from the hotel. The city’s focal point, Avenido dos Aliados, is just one mile north, meanwhile the historic Porto Cathedral is one mile north-east, as is Sao Bento train station, making it easy for you to venture out and explore the rest of the city. Porto International Airport is approximately 12 miles away.

A unique blend of classic and contemporary decor features throughout the interior. Rooms are comfortably furnished with classic interior design and warm neutral tones, with unique wallpapers providing an eccentric twist. Plenty of amenities are available for your comfort and convenience, including free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, Nespresso machine, minibar and much more – with many of the rooms offering stunning views overlooking the Douro River. Upgrade to a Vintage Grand View Balcony or Vintage River View Balcony room to benefit from characteristic large French windows that open onto your private balcony, where you’ll enjoy expansive views of the river, the Dom Luis I Bridge and the Gaia Port Wine Cellars, alongside the architecture of Porto’s many historic and picturesque buildings.
