Porto has a wide variety of hotels, ranging from historic hotels to modern hotels, big chain hotels to small boutique hotels. Here are what I consider to be some of the best Porto hotels:

Best Luxury Hotels in Porto
Hotel Teatro – Decadent and chic, Hotel Teatro is one of the best places to stay for visitors that like to travel in style.

The Yeatman – With a focus on wine, the Yeatman is consistently considered one of the best Porto hotels in the luxury category.

Infante do Sagres – A mix of traditional and contemporary, this five-star hotel abounds with luxury and opulence.

The Pestana Porto Hotel is located in Porto’s Ribeira district. Situated above the Douro River, the hotel offers stunning views of the Ponte de Dom Luis bridge and Vila Nova de Gaia.

A classically decorated hotel right in the Praca da Ribeira, the location and style of the hotel can’t be beat.

The hotel has 45 rooms and 3 suites, all of which are decorated to high standards with pure white linens, wooden furniture, and colorful accents. When booking a room at the Pestana Porto Hotel, make sure to get one of the 30 rooms and 3 suites with a view of the river.

The hotel has a bar called Bar Heritage Cafe that is open daily for drinks. The hotel’s breakfast buffet is also served there. The food is great, so make sure go to breakfast at least once while you’re staying in Porto.

Room rates at the Pestana Porto Hotel start at 145 euros per night for doubles if you book online and take advantage of promotional offers. There are also seasonal packages that provide good discounts.

Best Porto Restaurants

The best Porto restaurants aren’t always the ones in the most obvious places. Nor are they always the ones in the Portugal guidebooks.

Some of them are off-the-beaten-path, up a steep hill, or hidden away around a corner. After some searching (and some sampling!), here is a list of what I consider to be the best Porto restaurants:

Gourmet Restaurant at The Yeatman Hotel – Michelin-starred and worth the trip up the hill in Vila Nova de Gaia, The Yeatman’s Gourmet Restaurant is one of the top fine dining restaurants in Porto.

The Bull & Bear Restaurant – Consistently rated one of the top restaurants in Porto.

Majestic Cafe – A great place for a snack or light meal. Don’t miss the gorgeous Art Nouveau architecture.

Confeitaria do Bolhao – The perfect place for a quick pastry after visiting the market across the street.

D. Tonho Restaurant – Great views across Porto and a lovely terrace.

Barao de Fladgate Restaurant – In the Taylor’s Port Lodge, great food and wine are served. Views are excellent.

A Tasquinha Restaurant – A great place for a casual lunch or dinner in Porto. The restaurant offers excellent value for money, too.

New places are opening all the time, so make sure to check back for an updated list of the best Porto restaurants.
