Hotel review

Nestled on the steep banks of the Douro River, this contemporary design hotel and spa offers a sleek escape to the country in Nothern Portugal. Boasting modern, minimalist suites, two panoramic view pools and a full-service spa, this new hotel is set to quickly become a favourite with visitors to the region. The hotel's exterior was constructed from natural stone and shale, meaning it harmonises beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Interiors follow a similar logic and are dressed in a palette of earthy hues inspired by the surrounding hills, with soft lines, floor-to-ceiling windows and sit-out terraces to maximise views. The Douro41 Spa is one of the highlights of the hotel; boasting a team of specialised therapists, the spa offers a fresh approach to treatment, with first-class facilities including an indoor panoramic swimming pool and a hydrotherapy circuit, in addition to well-equipped treatment rooms. After your revitalising treatment, head to the hotel's smart restaurant for dinner, a menu of contemporary Portuguese cuisine conceived by experienced local chefs.
