While Lisbon remains a favourite weekend break destination, hot on its heels is Porto ; a city home to some of Portugal’s best hotels , with culture aplenty, arguably the most beautiful train station in the world and port tastings available at every wine bar on every corner. The Douro Valley, Portugal ’s most famous wine region, is just a two-hour scenic train ride away, while the city itself is home to the vertigo-inducing Luís Bridge (yes, you can climb it), stunning street art and a gluttonous local dish, the francesinha sandwich. Whether you’re looking for a quirky boutique hotel, or somewhere to relax with views of the Douro river, this is our selection of the best hotels in Porto.
How we choose the best hotels in Porto Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials.
We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve..
