to get started.

Excellent staff, location and overall comfort of the hotel

Armando, Portugal

Wonderful from all point of view! Great hotel great staff good breakfast wonderful location in centre

Patricia, Lebanon

It's the InterContinental right in the middle of everything in Porto. Do you really need to know more?

Gilbert, United States of America

After a horrific experience with Booking.com and the property that we had secured two months prior to our vacation, we found ourselves without a place to stay while driving to Porto at 11 at night. Fortunately, the Intercontinental had a room and from the moment we stepped onto the property, were treated with empathy and given the highest level of service. They even re-opened the kitchen so we could have something to eat. While we will be most hesitant in using Booking.com for future travel reservations, we will definitely be returning to this wonderful hotel.

Dave, United States of America

A very fine hotel in a wonderful position. Staff and service are excellent. Probably the best hotel in Porto

Robert, Australia

We had a duplex suite with 2 bathrooms. And we don't need an extra rollaway as there is a sofa bed in the lower level. The location is fantastic.

May, Hong Kong

Helpfulness of friendly staff - Julia and Concales especially. Great hotel, excellent breakfasts, covenient gym, good location - overall a great stay!

Philip, South Africa

The hotel is located in the heart of Porto. The location is great. The hotel staff is wonderful. The room is comfortable and spacious. The workout facility is good, especially for an older property. The Concierge staff is wonderful. They are probably the nicest group of employees that I have met in a very long time. It's worth the money.
