Charm Palace Porto - A Restored 1900s Bourgeois Residence with Garden Views and Skylit Atrium
Located near Santa Catarina street and Bolhão Market, this 2-star Porto hotel occupies a restored early 1900s building featuring a dramatic skylit atrium. Five of the nine suites and apartments rise to 5-meter ceiling heights, showcasing original stucco walls that blend traditional Portuguese patterns with modern furnishings. Charm Palace Porto's accommodations include in-room amenities such as premium bedding, free WiFi, and complimentary bottled water, while select units offer private terraces or balconies with garden views. A glass-enclosed winter garden and peaceful courtyard with Italian cypresses provide outdoor lounging spaces. The property serves a morning spread of fresh bread rolls, local cheeses, shaved ham, and seasonal fruits from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM. Standing 1312.3 ft from City Bolhão Market and Rua Santa Catarina, the hotel sits a six-minute walk from Porto's main shopping district and 15 minutes from São Bento.

“Charm Palace Porto feels more like a meticulously kept home than a hotel, one where the vintage details and quiet garden offer respite from the city's bustle. Its location places guests within easy walking distance of Porto's highlights, yet tucked away from the noise. For those seeking a personal, authentic stay, this property distinguishes itself.”
