Best hotel in Porto for music lovers

Opened in April 2022, this hotel is something new for Porto: a music-focused property with a 180-seated or 300-standing concert hall, a music library featuring 600 vinyls for guest use and even a music therapy room. But while there’s a focus on music, the final result feels cool rather than gimmicky—think 1970s-inspired decor courtesy of exposed walls and vintage wooden furniture, with leather and rattan furniture (and the odd plant). By request, a complimentary record player, guitar, and keyboard can all be hired from reception to be used in the bedrooms, should you wish to flex your musical muscles during your stay.

Facilities at the hotel include a small pool, which becomes particularly busy in the warmer months—during high season, you’ll struggle to secure a lounger. There’s a bar serving lunch and drinks (cocktails are particularly good; the blueberry mojito comes highly recommended) while breakfast and supper are served in the hotel’s restaurant. Guests are varied, with couples, families and, of course, musicians taking advantage of the affordable room rates.

The motto here is Stay, Listen, Play, but should you wish to explore there’s plenty on your doorstep. Found in the up-and-coming cool neighborhood of Bonfim, this property isn’t as central as many Porto hotels—but it’s worth bearing in mind that the city is very small (it’s a pleasant 20-minute walk to São Bento station, for example), so it’s actually a great way to see a new side of Porto, particularly if it’s not your first time in the city. –Abigail Malbon
