This industrial-chic hotel on the banks of the Douro river offers luxurious apartment-style lodgings in Portugal’s second city, with proximity to the city’s port lodges, a plush spa and a rooftop bar with unrivalled panoramic views
Location
The Rebello sits on the bank of the river Douro, looking back towards central Porto from the Vila Nova de Gaia district. The hotel’s position affords it panoramic views of the city and the Dom Luis I Bridge (something a hotel in the city centre could never offer), and the area is full of nods to the city's past as an industrial hub. Former wine cargo Rabelo boats – from which the hotel takes its name – are drydocked outside, and the area’s most famous port lodges (Grahams, Taylor’s and Cockburns) are all within walking distance. Boat tours down the Douro and under Porto’s six famous bridges also depart from docks close to the hotel.
