A hotel with a rich architectural history and an 18th century baroque style
Located in the city of Porto, 2 miles from the centre of one of Portugal’s most vibrant regions, the Palácio do Freixo, classified in 1910 as a National Monument, is a unique example of Baroque architecture, with about 108 thousand sq ft of gardens and green spaces offering breathtaking views of the River Douro.
Panoramic and iconic
The setting of an excellent Urban Resort, as a distinguished member of both The Leading Hotels of the World and The Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leaders, we offer you an unparalleled experience that marries traditional values with contemporary comfort and a strong commitment to sustainability.
The Pestana Palácio do Freixo is characterised by its sumptuous eighteenth century architecture. It was built by Nicolau Nasoni, one of the most important architects that helped Porto become a World Heritage Site.
Located in the impressive mill building, a calm and serene space adorned in gold and chestnut tones with a predominance of dark wood and classic decor, the 87 rooms and suites are equipped with free internet access, with most of them boasting sweeping views of the Douro River.
Located along the banks of the Douro River, and just 3 km from the historic centre, this hotel complex is the starting point for discovering all of the corners of Porto.
