“A chic hillside hotel with great views over Porto, featuring stylish yet homely interiors. The riot of colour in the floral themed bar is offset nicely by the more elegant restaurant, while light rooms are bold and colorful or muted and sophisticated. The indulgent spa and pool are a real highlight.”

Torel Avantgarde, Porto, Portugal

This eclectic and charming 47-room hotel offers river views and strikingly designed rooms that reject minimalism in favour of bold colours. There is an emphasis on comfort, with handwoven rugs, soft bathrobes and superb beds. The restaurant’s food and wines celebrate its Portuguese identity.
