Torel Palace Porto

Torel Palace Porto is a five-star boutique hotel housed in the beautifully restored Palacete Campos Navarro, a 19th-century palace in Porto's historic centre. Dating back to 1861, the property retains its grand architecture, ornate ceilings and elegant interiors, with a literary theme celebrating Portugal's most famous writers and poets.

The hotel features 24 individually designed rooms and suites, each inspired by a Portuguese literary figure, including Fernando Pessoa and Florbela Espanca. Across the street, an additional 18 apartments provide more space for longer stays.

Guests can relax by the outdoor swimming pool or book a treatment at Calla Wellness Suite, which offers massages, facials and couples treatments using natural skincare products.

Dining is a highlight. The Michelin-starred BLIND restaurant serves creative tasting menus inspired by José Saramago's novel Blindness, with unexpected sensory elements throughout the experience. Florbela Pâtisserie offers French-inspired pastries in a charming setting with a literary library.
