      Overview

      Modern and sophisticated

      It offers a breathtaking view of the Douro river, ideal for individual or family stays. In addition to its comfortable rooms and suites, it also features a grill restaurant, a rooftop with bar and infinity pool, a gym, massage rooms and indoor pool. It is also an excellent choice for meetings, with several conference rooms, and a huge hall adaptable to large events.

      The Pestana Douro Riverside is located in the premises of a former soap and candle factory. The large brick chimney that stands in front of the reception is a visible reminder of its history. The hotel thus combines the most modern technology with the heritage of a historic factory. Inspired by the aromas of floral soaps once produced here, each floor is dedicated to the scent and color of the flowers that identifies it: lavender, jasmine, orange blossom, rose, cherry blossom, chamomile, geranium and lily.
