Designed by the Architect Silva Sardina, the Grande Hotel do Porto opened its doors in 27th March 1880. It was thought to be the first “Grand Hotel” in town with all the glory of the end of the century. Opposite to everything that was made then, the luxury of the hotel could be seen in many details of its interior decoration: the French mirrors, the golden florins, the sumptuous marble columns.

Along the years of its existence it was the set for many encounters of Porto’s high society. Politicians, writers, spies, war refugees, artist and nobility members have passed through the Hotel along the years.

With more than a century old, Grande Hotel do Porto is the oldest hotel still functioning in town. Witness of several decades, it reaches nowadays as a charming hotel, where detail makes the difference and where you will find cosy and relax environment to enjoy a good rest.

17 km from Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, 2km from the main highway exits, 250 metes from S.Bento Railway Station and a few steps away from Bolhão metro station, the hotel accessibilities are excellent.

With a cuisine of traditional Portuguese flavours, the restaurant offers its guests a daily buffet lunch. At dinner, a la carte service allows you to travel through Portuguese gastronomy.

The Windsor Bar has the relaxing environment ideal for a drink in the end of the day. With a timeless décor, the bar serves as meeting point for guests and clients.
