Whether you are in search of an opulent and traditional stay or would rather something a little more contemporary, there is a good range to choose from.

For families

• The Yeatman is Porto’s grand dame of a hotel. It offers two Michelin-starred dining, a spa, and 82 luxurious bedrooms. It sits high above the port houses, overlooking its decanter-shaped infinity pool and the River Douro beyond. A kids' club and a wide choice of accommodation options mean families will be very comfortable here.
• The Rebello Hotel and Spa offers spacious suites that feel like comfortable, modern flats, while the spa and restaurant are a nod to the past. Far from the crowds and traffic, but with great views and amenities. With a range of room sizes, a family-friendly atmosphere, and babysitting services, this is ideal for families.

For traditional grandeur

• Le Monumental Palace is well located on the Avenida dos Aliados, Porto’s magnificent main thoroughfare. The impressive Art Deco building has been beautifully renovated, yet still keeps all its original grandeur. With a Nuxe spa, a gastronomic restaurant and a Parisian-style brasserie, this is a stylish stay.
• Hotel Infante Sagres is a grand historic hotel brimming with tasteful opulence — think stained glass stairwells, carved wooden lifts, and oil paintings. Spacious rooms and suites boast original antiques and indulgent marble bathrooms. Expect modern European dining, an atmospheric bar, and spot-on service.
• Palacio Freixo offers palatial splendour on the banks of the Douro. It's a sumptuous 18th-century building with parquet floors, frescoes and ceiling panels, and a Hall of Mirrors. Contemporary rooms are minimalist in design and most offer fabulous views. A luxury choice with a spa, infinity pool, and several dining options.
• Torel Palace, Porto is a 24-room hotel housed in the beautiful 19th century Palacete Campos Navarro. Ornate interiors blend maximalist design with contemporary art, all paying homage to the greats of Portuguese literature. An emerald-green lap pool is a welcome addition.

• Baroque meets neoclassical meets modern at Casa da Companhia, a first-class example of Portuguese hospitality and comfort in Porto.

All come with a private butler. An intimate, romantically lit haven in the midst of Porto's bustling Old Town.
