Pestana Porto
"Situated in the Praça da Ribeira,
heart of the historical centre of Porto and constructed on part of the
mediaeval city wall, the Pestana Porto Hotel forms part of a block of
town houses dating from the XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries. This beautiful
adjoining group of buildings was classified by UNESCO as part of the World
Heritage site which extends along the Douro River enjoying a magnificent
view and unique atmosphere. In the heart of Porto, only 20 minutes from the
International Airport "Francisco Sá Carneiro" and 10 minutes
from "São Bento Railway Station, the Pestana Porto Hotel, with all
charm of the Ribeira riverside area, in buildings of an original design
classified as world heritage, stands proudly on the bank of the Douro River.
In the bustle of the city, after taking a boat ride on the river, exploring
streets and alleys, admiring the architecture, seeing the sights, visiting
the wonderful port lodges, discovering markets, cafés, museums and enticing
shops...it's good to have somewhere to come home to. The Pestana Porto Hotel
is one of those places in the world where "receiving visitors"
means "offering them the best of everything". "
