Overview

You'll find the Porto Royal Bridges Hotel at the intersection of modernity and history. This 4-star hotel was transformed from an emblematic 70s building into a city center refuge, thanks to the creativity of renowned Interior Designer Nini Andrade e Silva. Its prime location in Porto's Centro/Baixa district is within a 10-minute walk of the Porto Cathedral, Bolhao Market, and the iconic Sao Bento Train Station.

Each of the 70 rooms at Porto Royal Bridges Hotel features a minimalistic, black-meets-white, industrial vibe, nonetheless well-appointed with conveniences like air conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. The bathrooms come with rainfall showerheads, stone sinks, and complimentary toiletries. Just keep in mind that some rooms are interior, meaning they don't have any windows facing the street and can be a little dark. 

Whether it's starting your day with coffee or ending it with a cocktail, the Eiffel Bar at Porto Royal Bridges Hotel is the place to be. Its trendy, cosmopolitan atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind after exploring Porto's many attractions. Otherwise, besides its daily breakfast buffet, the hotel doesn't have many other amenities.
