A modern take on a Portuguese period drama might look a little like Hospes Infante Sagres: stained-glass stairwells, croc-leather-embossed vintage lifts and a flirtation with maximalism at every turn. Refreshed by local designers, it’s grand but never stuffy — with mural-adorned rooms, a breezy rooftop plunge pool and restaurant Scarlett downstairs for oysters and Douro Valley wines. Step outside and the set widens: Porto’s historic centre plays backdrop, all sweeping avenues, tiled façades and riverfront scenes.

Poolside

Food and Drink

Top Table

The tables everyone covets are the ones catching the breeze on the terrace.

Dress Code

Scarlett’s mood is polished but playful — consider this your cue to swap sightseeing sneakers for something with a little sparkle.

Hotel restaurant

Scarlett Wine & Food brings Mediterranean warmth to the hotel’s dining room that’s lined with ruby-red banquettes. Fresh Portuguese oysters are the star turn — especially during the daily happy hour, when they go for €1 a pop — but the wider menu leans into grilled seafood, bright herb-lifted salads, slow-cooked meats and shareable plates that hint at the restaurant’s other outlets in Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Hotel bar

Scarlett’s bar keeps the energy up with daily happy hours, oyster-themed specials and cocktail nights, while the wine list proudly favours the Douro Valley. The bartenders also mix a tight edit of cocktails and mocktails from 5pm that feel tailor-made for an unhurried hour on the terrace.

Last orders

Breakfast is from 7am to 10am (10.30am, weekends); all-day dining is between 12.30pm and 11pm.

Room service

Portugal

Hospes Infante Sagres sits within strolling distance of Porto’s stately Avenida dos Aliados, as well as headline sights like Rua de Santa Catarina’s Chapel of Souls and the Ribeira riverfront.

Planes

Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a 20-minute drive from the hotel, with taxis and Ubers plentiful at all hours.

Trains

São Bento Station — famed for its azulejo-lined hall — is the hotel’s closest stop, just a five-minute walk away, with trains connecting across the region. For zipping around the city, the Aliados Metro station is also a short stroll, linking you to multiple metro lines for easy north–south jaunts, including across the Douro.

Automobiles

Porto is ideally enjoyed on foot or by hopping between its trams, metros and hill-ready funiculars, so you can skip the car keys altogether. If you happen to drive, Garagem Comércio do Porto is conveniently close to the hotel for parking.

Worth getting out of bed for

Step outside Hospes Infante Sagres and you’re ideally placed for a ramble through Porto’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, where colourful hillside houses, mediaeval lanes and the sweep of the Rio Douro set the scene. Wander up to Clérigos Tower for a sky-high panorama, dip into the São Bento station hall for its storybook azulejos, and browse the Bolhão Market for fresh flavours and local crafts. Cross the Dom Luís I Bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia and spend an afternoon touring the legendary Port wine cellars, learning how those tawny treasures are aged before a tasting. In between, hop between miradouros for postcard views, duck into contemporary galleries and craft shops like Colectivo Besta and Coração Alecrim, or join a river cruise for a breezy glide along the Douro. 

Local restaurants

For a Michelin starred, design-savvy dinner, Euskalduna Studio is still one of Porto’s most exciting tables, offering boundary-pushing tasting menus in a moodily lit space. Just around the corner, Taberna dos Mercadores is famously petite and perpetually in demand, dishing up Portuguese classics from garlic-slicked clams to arroz de tamboril (monkfish rice) that arrives bubbling and aromatic. And for a wood-fire-forward experience, reserve a seat at Gastro by Elemento’s counter to watch chefs pluck smoky meats, fish and vegetables straight from the coals. 

Local cafés

Head to Época Porto for house-made breads, vibrant veggie plates and great coffee in the buzzy Baixa district. Then there’s Manteigaria, a traditional bakery turning out still-warm pastéis de nata with bronzed, blistered tops — it’s impossible to stop at just one. 

Local bars

A short wander from the hotel, Genuíno Porto pours natural Portuguese wines alongside seasonal small plates in a pared-back, effortlessly cool setting. Curioso Cocktail Bar delivers cleverly layered drinks and hits the sweet spot between neighbourhood hangout and grown-up nightcap spot.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this maximalist manor house near Avenida dos Aliados and unpacked their artisan soaps and vintage tawny, a full account of their cobblestone-crossing break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Hospes Infante Sagres in Porto… 

Porto’s original five-star grande dame has emerged from her renovation with a renewed sense of adventure — a kind of Age of Discovery 2.0, rendered in maximalist colour. Nano Design has kept Hospes Infante Sagres’ heritage grandeur firmly intact (its intricate stained glass, carved panelling and wonderfully idiosyncratic lifts), but layered in deep-saturated salons and vibrant artworks that give the place a theatrical flourish. The drawing rooms nod to Prince Henry the Navigator and The Lusiads, as though the explorers simply swapped sea charts for sumptuous fabrics.  

Upstairs, each bedroom mixes murals, tapestry wallpapers and bright parquet floors, while the rooftop plunge pool offers up Baixa’s rooftops as your new horizon line. Scarlett Wine & Food charts the next course with local oysters and wines on a terrace made for leisurely waypoints — and from there, it’s only a few steps until Porto becomes your next great discovery.
