"Once a monastery and then a palace, you can expect the very best at InterContinental Porto with its superlative service, gorgeous rooms and full-service spa in the heart of town."

Once a monastery, then a palace and now a hotel, the InterContinental Porto - Palacio das Cardosas is an exquisite property in the heart of central Porto. It has oodles of personality and panache; match that with the outstanding service and gastronomic offerings, and what you get is an exceptional experience here in this grape-centric city of history and culture.

Expect neoclassical design, gleaming marble floors – almost mirror-like in shine-factor – sparkling Swarovski chandeliers, lush velvet upholstered chairs and a hearty welcome upon arrival. As your bags are whisked up to your room, take a moment to admire the old photos of Porto and the gallery of revolving contemporary art that adorns the bar and restaurant. Stay here, and you’ll be mere steps away from the São Bento train station and the iconic Clérigos Tower; you’ll also be about a 10-minute drive from El Corte Inglés (shopaholics take note).

Rooms are spacious, elegantly appointed with a choice of king or twin-bedded...   Show more

Stay here, and you’ll be mere steps away from the São Bento train station and the iconic Clérigos Tower; you’ll also be about a 10-minute drive from El Corte Inglés (shopaholics take note).

Rooms are spacious, elegantly appointed with a choice of king or twin-bedded rooms. Tasselled drapes and carpets make them feel home-like, while Executive Rooms or Suites take it up a notch (or two). Go the extra mile for a Duplex Suite if you so wish, and you’ll get views over the Porto Catherdral, two bathrooms and two floors along with a separate living room. Regardless, almost all bathrooms have a bathtub and walk-in shower as well as proper hairdryers and the fluffiest of robes to don as you lounge in your quarters.

Dining in Porto can be a hit or miss (there’s a fair share of soggy octopus going), so the Astoria Restaurant here is a welcome retreat; go for the wine-paired menu if you’re an oenophile. But first, start the evening at the gorgeous Cardosas Bar Lounge (which also serves afternoon tea) and have the bartender give you a crash course in aperitif ports, the white ones, before moving on to dinner; you can always come back for a delicious (red) after-dinner port.

If you have a moment, head to the spa where the treatment menu includes a choice of massages, manicures and pedicures besides facials and waxing services. There’s also a gym and a sauna, welcome venues after a long day of port tasting and sightseeing.
