The conversion of this historic building to a 5-star hotel included a full restoration of the architectural features of the original building. The hotel has the intimate feeling of a boutique hotel. The cozy interior patio located on the 3rd floor is a peaceful oasis where guests can unwind after a long day.
The name of the new hotel, inaugurated in March 2018, pays homage to one of Porto’s most iconic cafes – A Brasileira Cafe – which is back in its original layout in the historic building. The Cafe was known for serving the best coffee in Porto in the early 1900s. In addition to A Brasileira Cafe, the hotel also has a restaurant that offers traditional Portuguese cuisine from the highly acclaimed chef Rui Martins.
The decor and artwork displayed throughout the hotel is a nod to the legacy of the A Brasileira Cafe. Each of the floors of the hotel is decorated according to various themes: coffee, tea, cinnamon, anise, pink pepper and chocolate, and those themes are carried through in the design of the rooms.
Each room is equipped with a smart phone that guests can take with them during their stay in Porto to help them get around. The phone is loaded with local info, including what to see/do, maps and restaurant suggestions, and guests can use the phone to make free local and international phone calls (subject to a 30 minute maximum per day).
