InterContinental Porto Palacio das Cardosas by IHG

This is a luxury iconic hotel located at downtown Porto and used to be a palace. I love the sparkling chandeliers hanging at the lobby and the curvy staircases up to the first floor. There is also an outdoor patio for you to enjoy your cocktails and food. The room is big and beautifully decorated (feel like a palace room) The staff is super attentive and friendly.

Excellent location, in the city hall square. Rooms are spacious and very good. The staff are very helpful. Walking distance to most sites. Do not miss the Cathedral Porto. The only think I can suggest for improvement is the water pressure. Would love to stay here again.

It’s a beautiful hotel and our room was nice. However we were there during the great European heat wave. I understand that AC is limited in Europe especially old buildings BUT they did not even provide any kind of fan to help ease the utter discomfort of the heat. Really enjoyed waking up in a pool of my own sweat. “Luxury” experience.. We also stayed at a Marriott property a few days later and it had AC. Very comfortable stay there to make up for the sauna that the Intercontinental was.
