Torel Palace Porto - A literary-themed palace hotel with Michelin-starred dining and emerald pool

Located in a romantic 1861 bourgeois palace on Rua de Entreparedes, this 5-star Porto hotel features 24 rooms and suites named after Portuguese writers and poets. Designer Isabel Sá Nogueira created interiors adorned with stucco ceilings and literary-themed artwork by Jorge Curval. The Michelin-starred BLIND restaurant serves a sensory tasting menu inspired by José Saramago's works, while Florbela Pâtisserie offers French pastries crafted by Eva Monteiro. The emerald lap pool sits beneath greenery walls beside a wisteria-covered terrace. Each air-conditioned room includes a desk, coffee machine, minibar, safe, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom with shower. Torel Palace Porto stands 0.5 miles from São Bento station and Praça de Liberdade, with the São João National Theater and Church of Santo Ildefonso just 2 minutes away.

Pros

“Torel Palace Porto impresses as a boutique literary escape within a meticulously restored palace, where each room celebrates Portugal's literary giants. The Michelin-starred BLIND restaurant anchors the hotel's appeal, promising an exceptional dining experience alongside its wellness facilities and seamless access to Porto's attractions. In my view, it stands out for those seeking a deeply cultured and luxurious stay.”
