"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.
The hotel has 97 rooms in total, divided by 72 standard rooms, 17 superior rooms and 8 suites. All rooms are non smoking and one of the rooms is specially adapted for disabled guests.To respond to nowadays demands, the rooms are decorated in a practical and contemporaneous way."(from the hotel webpage)

Hotel Dom Henrique****
| |
"Due to its architectonic characteristics, is an important landmark in the City, on the edge of being classified as Architectural Patrimony, and is used as “case study” at the faculty of architecture of Porto University.
During these over thirty years the hotel, with its 112 rooms, the Restaurant Além-Mar, a Panoramic Bar on the 17th floor and multi-purpose rooms for meetings and other events – highlighting the views from Room Navegador, on the 18th floor - was at all times property of the same family and has been submitted to several improvements, of which stands out a major renovation in 1985 that forced to its closure, reopening in 1986. Hotel Dom Henrique has suffered another ample intervention in 1997, but this time phased, allowing its services to continue functioning with the usual high quality standards.
In pursuing our objective of providing the best and more comfortable accommodations for our clients the update of our premises is a priority; therefore, after these extensive renovations, several refurbishments and equipment updates have been and will continue to be undertaken."
