“The six minimalist white rooms of the Babel guesthouse, tastefully furnished with vintage and modern furniture, offer an excellent city-center base. Its lively downstairs restaurant serves local Portuguese ingredients with splashes of flavor from North Africa, the Middle East and beyond.”

All you need to know
Babel is this really cool, artsy little spot tucked into the old part of the city. It’s not a big chain hotel but more like six stylish apartments, each with their own character.
The décor feels very creative, thanks to a collaboration with local artists and galleries, so you’ll spot thoughtful design touches everywhere. There’s free Wi-Fi, and if you like making your own meals, you’re in luck: the studios and apartments come with a kitchenette or small kitchen packed with modern appliances.
What’s especially great is the location. It’s right in the heart of Porto: just a short walk from Clérigos Tower and São Bento station, and not far from the river or the famous Luís I Bridge.
Guests rave about how central it is.

Palacete Severo, Porto
CN Traveler + 1 more“Palacete Severo was built by architect Ricardo Severo in 1904, displaying different stylistic elements from all over Portugal, making it something of a museum of details. Today the yellow-walled house has been immaculately restored by designer Paulo Lobo to offer 20 rooms in the main house as well as a new building across the garden.”
The Rebello, Porto
CN Johansens + 2 more“Opposite Porto’s Ribeira district, directly beside the River Douro’s edge, stands The Rebello housed within a collection of restored and reimagined 18th-century stone warehouses. This is Vila Nova de Gaia, the birthplace of the Port industry, that 300 years on, remains world-famous for its Port lodges and cellars.”
Hotel Pestana Palacio do Freixo, Porto
Frommers + 1 more“Only the 18th-century formal garden and its gently trickling fountain separate this magnificent Baroque palace from the River Douro. The location and the main building are spectacular. It was built around 1750 by Nicolau Nasoni, the architect man behind Porto’s landmark Clérigos tower, and is protected as a national monument.”
