Arpana Canada

Beautiful property - exactly as advertised. Elegant, comfortable and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Both the bar and Astoria restaurant were lovely and the food and drinks were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast each morning. If you’re deciding to splash out somewhere while visiting Porto, this is the place to do it.

Amazing hospitality and service. Room is extremely spacious, comfortable bed, and beautiful bathroom. One of the best showers I’ve ever been in! Overall, the best location possible to visit Porto! Will definitely stay again.

Jennifer United States of America

We adored our stay at the InterContinental in Porto. Would definitely go back. The service was excellent. The room was beautiful and spotlessly attended. The breakfast was copious and again, with excellent service. The gym was terrific: Lots of machines and well-tended with decent air-conditioning which is rare! The location is just as central as you can get it. It was just a home run!
