In a prime location in the historic city centre, the
Pestana Pousada Porto – Ruas das Flores is the ideal choice for those who want to get a feel of the city’s lively atmosphere on foot, and enjoy all the comfort, quality of service and attention to detail that characterise the
Pousadas de Portugal. The Pestana Pousada Porto – Rua das Flores is located on
Rua das Flores, a pedestrianised street, where you can find handicrafts and new designer shops, restaurants and cafés, or watch street performances and take in art exhibitions. This street is one of the
city’s most photographed and is within walking distance of the city’s main attractions, including
the Ribeira,
the Misericórdia Church,
the Avenida dos Aliados and
the Clérigos Tower. Rua das Flores is a well-known stopping point due to its entertainment and commerce, and also the historical interest of its historic buildings, some of which are more than five centuries old.
The
Pousada do Porto – Rua das Flores is located in one of these buildings, which is why it is an adapted historic hotel, duly suited to the architecture of the site. During its restoration, the characteristics of the original 18th century building were preserved, which makes it possible to appreciate the vaulted ceilings and the prominent stones, now an intrinsic part of the decor of the Pousada de Portugal, intended to combine these inherited characteristics with a modern and comfortable ambience. As a tribute to the name of this street, details of a variety of flowers form part of the decor. With 84 rooms duly furnished and decorated to ensure a comfortable stay, their neutral colours and wooden panels lend this space an even more welcoming atmosphere.
As it is located in an essentially pedestrianised street, the Pousada Porto – Rua das Flores does not have its own parking facilities. To this end, you can use the public car park closest to the Pousada do Porto, the SABA - Cardosas car park, 200 metres from the hotel, and enjoy a preferential price for guests that the Pousada do Porto has agreed with this car park.
The
P Gastro Bar of the Pousada extends an open invitation to its guests and visitors alike to take a
break and come enjoy some of the delicious
snacks that feature on its menu. This was the letter chosen to express the variety offered by this space, with is
cosmopolitan and informal atmosphere.
During your stay, in the heart of the city, you can also take another break and swim in the
indoor swimming pool, relax in the sauna or exercise in the
fitness centre. The Pestana Pousada do Porto – Rua das Flores also has
a
meeting room ideal for business dealings and a cool
inner courtyard well-known for its hanging garden.
The city of Porto is the second largest in the country and has recently been cited as the
best European destination for an urban getaway due to its safety, quality of life and tourist attractions. A city facing the
Douro River, combining cultural activities, cuisine and, of course, tastings of the famous Porto wine.
