Near Porto’s historic centre on Rua de Jose Falcao, Wine & Books Porto Hotel uses literature, Portuguese wine and local craft as a framework for its contemporary interiors. Rooms and suites combine pale upholstery, timber, bespoke wallpaper and balconies in selected categories, with upper floors looking across the city’s tiled roofs. The spa includes an indoor pool, sauna and treatment rooms, while the restaurant and bar focus on regional flavours and Portuguese labels. Bookshelves, artworks and carefully composed public rooms create a quieter counterpart to the busy streets surrounding the hotel.
