The Yeatman Hotel, Porto
Expert reviews
“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.
“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.”

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.

You’ll feel special here
Beautiful property with swank amenities. You feel special staying here, and the staff is attentive without being obsequious.
Only one thing I didn’t like: the property sits aloof over the city, isolated by an access road that got cut off with congestion a couple of days we were there. It’s a city problem that can impact you if you’re in a hurry.

Must Visit in Porto
This was one of the best hospitality experiences I've had. I worked as a sommelier for many years so I have been fortunate enough to experience quite a bit in this industry but the Yeatman checks all boxes. The views are amazing and the facilities are high quality. The staff was the most notable aspect. All members were extremely attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in your experience. Truly effortless experience.
All good.

Amazing way to enjoy Porto.
Amazing views and properties. Probably the best views in Porto. The staff is first class, from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Room is clean, large, and well appointed.

Out of this world, a truly amazing experience.
Absolutely everything was brilliant, the staff are amazing, could not be more helpful. The whole experience was just fantastic. The Yeatman has just become my favourite hotel ever. The food was superb, service was marvelous. I cannot praise the hotel quality, staff and facilities highly enough. We will be returning again before Christmas. I so recommend this hotel to everyone, an experience not to be missed.

The breakfast is very poor, especially regarding the quality of the products used. It's regrettable that such a beautiful and high-quality hotel does not offer better quality products for breakfast.

Great place away from the hustle and bustle of Porto city centre. A great relaxing place to unwind and spend quality tim
The view, the dinner at Orangerie, the sense of space, the bed!
The staff at the Spa not engaging at all and very poor knowledge on the facilities available, breakfast was average.
11 September 2024
It's a very nice hotel, but in this case it was a little bit unimpressive.
We like the style, location and views from the balconies every time we visit this hotel, very pleasant bar and lobby, not boring decoration and books.
Not being the first time in this hotel, we expected to have rooms not in the dead end corner of the hotel and with a better view, even if it is quiet. And the breakfast is less fresh than usual.

Large rooms, comfortable bed, great breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Outstanding view.
We were not keen on noise from the pool party. It did, however, finish at midnight.

Incredible views, delicious breakfasts, luxurious spa, attentive staff. Would stay again!
Stunning views and attentive staff. Very comfortable and spacious room and loved the private patio.
As a solo traveler, I wish there had been more of a true “bar” area to sit, have a glass of wine, and meet other guests. The bar was more of a lounge - a beautiful one at that! But didn’t lend itself to socializing. More family oriented hotel. Not a negative, just something to note.

Beautiful Hotel - excellent experiance
Room exceptional, comfortable bed, lovely decor and very well presented. We had a garden view which also incorporated some of the river and bridge views. Breakfast was delicious, lots of options and freshly prepared. The staff were fantastic too.

Over the top luxury indulgence… worth it
Everything was great and all first class with very friendly staff trained to provide great customer experiences. Very close to most of the main Port Houses and WOW center
Steep and narrow going up or down to attractions and long walk from elevator to room, the upside was a balcony with perfect view of Porto

The perfect place to relax with exquisite service and amenities.
Fabulous location. Best view of Porto - especially for the festival of St. Joao with the Chinese lanterns ascending into the night sky and fireworks over the river. Food and beverages were outstanding and the ambience of the hotel is just perfect.
Nothing to dislike.

Incredible. I will never forget the food, hotel design, focus on wine and excursion we organised to the Douro Valley
The Yeatman has a fantastic location in Porto. The historic district of Gaia, technically, but overlooking many of the city’s monuments, including the Don Luis I bridge. We stayed in a room with a balcony which overlooked said view. Waking up seeing birds fly over the city was truly magical. The Yeatman’s 2 michelin star restaurant was incredible, and the breakfast was amazing.
The stay was incredible. However there can be some improvements made where staffing is concerned. 90% are attentive and show real initiative in providing us with what we wanted as guests. However some were not as forthcoming to help as others, got food orders wrong, and came across as rather inexperienced. Finally, while at the pool on Monday 3rd June, guests behind us were smoking marijuana which was not pleasant. We felt awkward saying anything at the time because it would have been obvious who made the complaint. However, I feel if staff were more attentive at the pool could have prevented it by being more present and realising such was happening. Those are minor issues and overall the staff were amazing.

Overall well up to the 5 stars. A great experience
Concierge was fantastic. Dicks Bar, and its staff were wonderful. Fantastic hotel all round.
Toileteries in the bathroom were not good: Out of reach when sitting in the bath and spout dispensing in the wrong direction.

Incomparable views of beautiful Porto.
The views are unbeatable. The Yeatman also featured the best breakfasts of any hotel we stayed at on our trip.
Can't think of anything!

The hotel and rooms are beautiful but the service is lacking . More attentive to their guests.
We were told we couldn’t sit in a certain area. They need to clean it.

Amazing Hotel
What a hotel! A must stay when in Porto and we preferred staying on the Gaia side. Literally right next to port lodges and walkable to everything. It was like the Ritz Carlton with Marriot prices. We ate at the Yeatman restaurant which was the best meal of my life. Absolutely loved this place and will be returning.

Beautiful room with private balcony overlooking the Duoro River and the town of Porto. Great location with a back entrance that gives access to the town below. Wonderful dining facilities, so nice to have an after dinner drink in the evenings at Dick's Bar out on the Terrace and watch the sun going down over the town. Generally a beautiful Hotel. I will definitely want to come back.

The Reason I will Come back to Porto/Gaia.
This hotel is exceptional; the staff are professional and nice, and everything is clean and arranged properly. The rooms are huge and have amazing views. I was upgraded to a superior room, and the view from the terrace was breathtaking. I spent 70% of my time in Porto/Gaia just sitting on that amazing terrace. The room service was delicious and high quality, nothing cheap here. The Spa had great options. I loved the city, but the main reason I might come back is the hotel.
The tiny TV in the room.

Excellent hotel but not a top high end experience
Perfect scenery. Cleanliness. Excellent bed. Wow ticket museum as a gift!
Mentioned in my booking that I was visiting in a special occasion. Was told a symbolic gift was ready upon our arrival - nothing was there. A bit disappointing! Needed to pay car park as a hotel guest!
