It was recently honored with a Gold Medal in Touristic Merit. Porto is classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage site and in 2001 it was voted the "The European Capital of Culture". This region is most famous for its Porto Wine so make sure to do some wine tasting during your stay. The Porto wine cellars and Douro riverfront with its many bars, restaurants and boutiques are all within walking distance from the hotel. This Porto City Hotel provides grandiose banqueting facilities and the patio provides a lovely outdoor spot where "al fresco" lunches and romantic candlelight dinners are served during the summer.
The ambience of this modern, but seemingly historic hotel makes it very romantic, charming and full of character. You will feel like a royal guest on a romantic rendezvous!
