Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“This place really has it all: a Michelin-starred restaurant serving some of the country’s finest haute cuisine; a fabulous spa; hyper-comfortable rooms; and, most of all, views. From its hillside location above Gaia’s wine lodges, the Yeatman has Porto laid before it.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Porto.

Telegraph review:

“From a decanter-shaped pool and the 25,000-bottle cellar to the grape-pip treatments at its spa, this stylish hotel revolves around wine. It has a Michelin-starred restaurant and mesmerising views over Porto, with spacious rooms to boot.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Known as one of the best hotels in Porto, The Yeatman provides luxury accommodations, an elegant environment, and top-notch onsite dining options. The lobby welcomes visitors with a stately and grandiose staircase, a massive skylight, and an airy color scheme. Set on top of a hill overlooking the Douro River, this hotel has some of the best waterfront views of the city.

This hotel has 82 rooms, and all room options have king beds, flat-screen TVs, WiFi, minibars, and furnished balconies. The marble bathrooms in each guest room feature separate standing showers and bathtubs. Some rooms have incredible views of the river and city skyline. This hotel’s suites come with extra-luxurious amenities, like gas fireplaces, free-standing tubs, wine-barrel beds, and four-poster beds.

Guests can enjoy the variety of luxurious features and activities on this hotel property, including an indoor and outdoor infinity pool, showcasing panoramic views of the surrounding area. The high-end spa boasts Roman-style baths and a sauna. This area’s winemaking history is subtly reflected in the furnishings and decor throughout the property, but especially in the hotel wine cellar, which offers guided tastings.

One of The Yeatman’s best features is the incredible dining options, one of which, The Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant, has been awarded two Michelin stars. Pairing local wine and produce, this restaurant offers a delicious tasting menu. A more informal hotel restaurant, The Orangerie, is perfect for families, while Dick’s Bar and Bistro has light bites and sandwiches. From fantastic amenities to delicious dining, no detail has been spared at The Yeatman.

Luxurious and super comfortable.

Booked a special dinner with wine tasting (vinho verde). Supposed to be fine dining. Very disappointed as hardly any food and what was served was not pleasant.

A brilliant hotel with great service. We will definitely go back again for a longer period

Amazing views of the city from the hotel.

As our stay was so short we had no chance of experiencing all the facilities and hence we didn’t have any issues which bothered us.

Great hotel - Will most likely go there again.

The view from the lobby and from our room was exceptional. The breakfast is very good (great scrambled eggs, sunny side up eggs, great bread and pastries) . The room was spacious and bright. The front line staff was ALWAYS friendly (housekeeping, restaurant, bellman, concierge). Concierge was very helpful.

The room smelled cigarette smoke. Nothing was done after signaling it several times. Staff supervisors were not always responsive but front line staff was ALWAYS friendly (housekeeping, restaurant, bellman, concierge). Room service menu on QR code is not the most user friendly for such a hotel.

Excellence stay beautiful hotel

The hotel was superb overlooking the river and the town Breakfast was excellent Facilities faultless Staff were all lovely Bedroom lush

It’s on the top of the hill so be prepared for a hike back to the hotel The restaurant service was poor considering they were relatively quiet The wine pouring spout to keep the wine fresh was pathetic and embarrassing and needs to abolished with haste

Perfect honeymoon!

The customer service is fantastic, the amenities are brilliant and the view is so gorgeous. As it was a special occasion for us, they upgraded our room and left bubbles and flowers. A very special experience.

There's nothing we didn't like really. It's expensive to eat/drink at the hotel but you're paying for the service and location. Just something to bear in mind when budgeting.

Exceptional

We had an outstanding stay. The staff was highly service minded at check-in and check-out (Fransesca), amazing view of Porto from our hotel/room and a free upgrade was a very pleasant surprise. The breakfast at the terrace was an excellent start of the day. Yeatman's proximity to the WoW (World of Wine) museum was brilliant and the museum was very interesting in a modern educational setting. We will come back and stay at the Yeatman again.

The view over Porto, the food (breakfast and the Gastronomic restaurant) and the high quality service.

Fantastic views, fabulous hotel, highly recommend.

We love the Yeatman! This is our third time and we plan to keep coming back. The hotel is beautiful, very grand and well maintained. There are stunning views over the river and the bridge. The indoor and outdoor pools are both immaculately clean and well maintained. The pool loungers are comfortable and generally in good supply. Clean towels are always available. The pool bar is great for food and drink, although rather expensive. You pay for the privilege of eating lunch by an infinity pool with stunning views! Staff are always helpful and mostly speak good English. The rooms are very large and clean, with very big comfortable beds. Good soundproofing from other rooms. Breakfast does not have a particularly large selection but everything is fresh and well prepared. There are lots of fruits, salads, breads, cereals, omelettes made to order and hot food eg sausages and bacon. There are also luxury items like caviar, fresh honeycomb and champagne. Rooms are equipped with kettles and fridges - request fresh milk if you like to drink tea. Overall we had a fantastic time and highly recommend this hotel, especially for couples or other adult travellers. Also good for solo travellers, very safe and welcoming. It probably isn’t ideal if you are travelling with small children as there isn’t much for kids to do and the facilities all have a pristine air to them that doesn’t feel very child friendly! Although there were some children there so it’s it as if they’re not welcome.

Very good

Having the luxury of a pool was a huge bonus. Our room was so comfortable, I slept so well during our 3 night stay. The michelin star restaurant had the best wine pairing we have ever had with a tasting menu. The welcome drink and the staff were so helpful and friendly.

There was a large group of British tourists (whom we originally thought were a wedding party but turned out they were just on a holiday) who took over the pool area for the entire weekend and were drunk & disorderly on both days we went to the pool to the point we had to have several conversations with staff as they completely ruined our experience by the pool which is why we booked this hotel. Staff dealt with it, but not efficiently enough. They continued to serve this group alcohol even though some of them struggled to stand.

Beautiful views and comfy beds

Beautiful views in a great location to explore Porto The most comfy bed The concierge was super helpful and gave us some good tips as well as made reservations for us

The breakfast wasn’t worth the money, not good quality of many options The rooms were beautiful and super comfy but it’s a huge hotel and we got lost on the way to our room it was so far away from reception! There was one small bottle of water in the room which I feel isn’t enough for a 5* hotel, we called 3+ times for more but non ever arrived Parking is on site and part of the hotel but we had to pay to park per night which I found a rip off given it’s on site and the price we paid for a room was already expensive Check in and check out was super slow and only 2 staff working at the busiest time meant we had to wait quite a while

What a special treat to stay at The Yeatman!

So much to love! The resort was very quiet when we were there - very few people. We absolutely loved the room and the view and the staff was so lovely! Loved the location too - away from the busy parts but close enough to walk to it all.

Loved it!

Beautiful property with fabulous views across the river and Porto. Room was fabulous - second visit here & requested the same room. Sun-loungers in your private deck - what’s not to like?!

Waiting ages to both order, and get, the drinks in the bar area. At €15 euros a drink that is an unacceptable level of service.

It was the lap of luxury, for sure!

This was the nicest hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The view from our room was so beautiful. The bar and restaurant facilities offered great views, as well. Each and every staff person was exceptionally kind and helpful. Lovely pool with super comfortable lounge chairs.
