A trip to Portugal wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the namesake city of Port wine. Compared to Lisbon’s ancient, winding streets and classic red rooftops, Porto offers a slightly more contemporary feel—yet it still oozes historic charm. Whether you’re after boutique charm, riverside luxury, or a clean and budget-friendly stay, Porto has it all.

Here are some of the best hotels in Porto, broken down by style and price point.

Memoria Porto FLH Hotel – A Cozy, Mid-Range Stay in Ribeira

At first, I was skeptical about staying in a hotel that’s part of a chain—but FLH (which stands for Feels Like Home) is a Portugal-based brand that really lives up to its name. Memoria Porto FLH combines rustic features like exposed stone walls and arches with playful modern touches like sleek lighting and abstract art.

Our room felt more modern than boutique but had everything we needed—and the view of the Douro River was unforgettable. The complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon tea were thoughtful additions, complete with plenty of espresso and pastéis de nata.

• Price category: Mid-range
• Best for: Travelers who want comfort, charm, and a central location
• Nearby attractions: Ribeira District, Palácio da Bolsa, Porto Cathedral, Rua das Flores

The Yeatman – Porto’s Iconic Luxury Wine Hotel with River Views

Across the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia, The Yeatman is one of Porto’s most luxurious stays—and totally worth the splurge if you’re into wine, food, and jaw-dropping views. Each room has its own private balcony or terrace, and the interiors are chic with subtle nods to Portugal’s wine culture.

The two-Michelin-star restaurant is a destination in itself, and the on-site spa uses wine-infused treatments that fit the theme beautifully. Whether you’re sipping Port in the evening or enjoying the infinity pool, this hotel is made for relaxing in style.
