Simply lovely
The Intercontinental Porto is an exceptional hotel that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment my kids and I arrived, we were captivated by its beauty—the photos simply don't do it justice! What's more, the service is impeccable, with every staff member, from the front desk to the concierge and restaurant team, being incredibly polite and friendly. Our stay has been nothing short of delightful, and the hotel's location in Porto is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend the Intercontinental Porto to anyone looking for a family-friendly, luxurious experience.

Awesome, beautiful hotel. We were in Porto only for one night. Despite the construction we had a wonderful time. The hotel is centered in a great location with walking distance to many great restaurants and sites. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing hotel and incredibly well decorated comfortable rooms. The ONLY downside is that the entire area around the hotel is under construction for a new subway line. Otherwise, the hotel is a 10/10!
