Newly opened in 2018, the Pestana Porto - A Brasileira is a 5-star hotel set on a bustling commercial street and located in downtown Porto. A 4-minute walk will take you to the fabulous Portuguese Azulejo tiled interior of São Bento train station and a 12-minute walk to the historic Ribeira Square - classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
This luxury themed hotel was built around the famed ‘A Brasileira’ Café which was one of the first coffee houses to open in Porto in the early 20th century. The rooms are spread across several floors, each being thematically tied to one of the spices or products (anise, coffee, cinnamon, tea, chocolate and pink pepper) imported during the Portuguese maritime expansion between the 15th and 16th century.
Porto, one of Europe’s oldest cities, has been repeatedly voted Europe’s best destination by European Consumers Choice. Make the most of your stay with a cruise on the Douro River; or an historic train journey along the Douro Valley to see the sprawling terraced vineyards; visit the famous Port wine cellars; explore the city’s main monuments such as the Palácio da Bolsa, Sé Cathedral, Torre dos Clérigos, the Lello bookshop, Casa da Música, Mercado do Bolhão and the art galleries on Rua Miguel Bombarda; enjoy a coffee and cake at Café Majestic - a turn of the century coffee house; or enjoy some retail therapy on Rua de Santa Catarina.
