Opposite Porto’s Ribeira district, directly beside the River Douro’s edge, stands The Rebello housed within a collection of restored and reimagined 18th-century stone warehouses. This is Vila Nova de Gaia, the birthplace of the Port industry, that 300 years on, remains world-famous for its Port lodges and cellars.

The historic significance and classic Portuguese architecture of this 103-bedroom hotel express a distinct sense of place and cool industrial aesthetic. You could say it’s changing the face of traditional, upscale hospitality, offering a little more “service without the snootiness; flawless without the fawning”. And its 103 guest rooms, including studio, suite and three-bedroom duplex options have a modern, minimalist city-living vibe accentuated by local artwork, plush fabrics and views of the river. Thoughtful touches extend to the bathrooms fitted with handcrafted, locally sourced toiletries.
