Grande Hotel do Porto

Frommer's Review

Charming and evocative of a long-gone way of life, this is a carefully renovated relic of a hotel that's set on an all-pedestrian street with the densest collection of shops in central Porto. It was originally built in 1891 in a five-story "Grand Hotel" format that's still visible in its late Victorian facade and elaborate exterior detailing. After radical renovations, today it boasts an appealing combination of 1950s and Belle Epoque decor. Some noise might filter up through the open windows into the bedrooms above. But that's overcome by the charm of very wide stairwells and hallways, high-ceilinged accommodations with more space than you might have expected, contemporary decor, and better-than-average service. Each unit contains a midsize tiled bathroom with tub/shower combination.
