Great mix of traditional and modern; super clean, spacious room, high quality fittings and very comfortable bed. Only issue was the aircon that was quite loud. All staff - reception, lobby, bar were superb, nothing too much trouble and very proactive in trying to help and support the stay. Full recommended for a top quality stay in Porto

InterContinental Porto – Palácio das Cardosas: A Hotel That Makes Leaving Rather Difficult Every now and then, you stay somewhere that reminds you why great hotels are worth seeking out. The InterContinental Porto is one of those places. First, there’s the building. A magnificent historic palace sitting proudly in the heart of Porto, looking as though it has spent centuries quietly judging the architectural decisions of lesser buildings. The location is nearly impossible to improve upon. Step outside and you’re surrounded by beautiful architecture, wonderful restaurants, charming streets, and enough hills to make you question whether Porto has ever heard of level ground. Inside, the hotel is elegant without being pretentious, luxurious without trying too hard, and wonderfully comfortable. But the beds. Oh, those magnificent beds. After traveling through Europe and encountering a few mattresses that seemed better suited for medieval punishment than a good night’s sleep, the beds at the InterContinental were nothing short of heavenly. The pillows were extraordinary, the sheets were wonderfully soft and luxurious, and the entire experience was like being gently embraced by a cloud that had somehow earned a degree in hospitality. I’m convinced the hotel has discovered some secret formula for perfect sleep. The pillows, the sheets, the mattress, everything was exceptional. We slept so well that getting out of bed each morning felt less like starting a new day and more like
