Porto luxury hotels showcase historic and modern charm

The city of Porto continues to evolve as a destination that blends historic charm with modern appeal. A recent experience at IHG’s five-star properties highlights the city’s luxury hospitality sector.

The InterContinental Porto – Palácio das Cardosas, located in the city center, occupies a building that originated as a 15th-century convent and later served as a military hospital and the National Mint. Since its transformation by InterContinental in 2011, the hotel has become a prominent landmark. The property features newly refurbished suites that combine contemporary styling with historic elegance.

Dining options at the hotel include the Astória restaurant, which overlooks Praça da Liberdade and serves Portuguese-inspired cuisine.
