Our favourite rooms
Expect clean lines, polished concrete floors, and industrial-chic details throughout the Rebello’s studios and suites – many of which have stylishly-furnished balconies and light-flooded window seats from which to drink in the Douro views. Sleek kitchens with handy dishwashers also come as standard, but the full-size Smeg fridges (stocked with kombuchas, traditional sardine pâté, and other local treats) are reserved for the One Bedroom River Suites and upwards. The split-level apartments offer some more separation between your sleeping and living spaces, and every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom (ideal for avoiding family disagreements over who’s showering first).
Poolside
Dips in the Rebello’s indoor pool are lit by softly glowing lanterns that seem to float above the semi-heated waters, with cloud-like loungers to recline on while you admire the Roman-style pottery adorning the peach-coloured walls.
Spa
Drawing on ancient Roman rituals, the spa at the Rebello (open daily from 10am to 8pm) revolves around the indoor pool – with four treatment rooms to book into, plus a sauna and whirlpool to unwind in. Massages range from deep tissue to bamboo, and there’s a 50-minute jet lag-targeting therapy if you’re travelling long-haul. You can also pre-book slots in the high-tech gym for an exclusive workout, with personal trainers available on request.
Packing tips
No need to weigh yourself down with holiday reading material, there are artsy books to thumb through in the hotel’s relaxed lobby.
Also
Beauty treatments can be booked outside spa hours for an extra charge.
Pet‐friendly
Well-behaved dogs (weighing under 15 kilograms) are welcome to stay in any room here for an extra charge of €30 (a night, each pet). They will be treated to a comfy bed, blanket, and treats, but must be kept on a leash throughout the hotel. See more pet-friendly hotels in Porto.
Children
All ages are welcome and well catered for here. Extra beds for under-11s can be added in some suites (for an additional cost) or cots can be added (subject to availability).
Sustainability efforts
The Rebello’s history might run deep, but the renovation of these former port warehouses was done with the future – and environment – in mind. The hotel runs entirely from renewable energy, uses biodegradable, Ecolabel products in its water-conserving bathrooms, and has a strict recycling policy in place. There are several charging stations for electric vehicles onsite, and you can access your room using your mobile phone (high-tech, low energy). The hotel also supports various charities and non-profit organisations, including Make-A-Wish Foundation, the volunteers at Just a Change – rebuilding homes across Portugal – and by donating used mattresses and bed linen to nursing homes in the city.
