The Rebello Hotel sits on the banks of the Douro river, once a warehouse for port wine and pots and pans. Spanish designer Daniela Franceschini drew inspiration from the historical use of industrial space. As you step into the entrance, you can’t help but notice the distinctive colors, textures, and materials that were curated by the art and furniture pieces of Portuguese artists.

The Rebello Hotel provides 103 suites, offering flexible room types. Each room features a kitchen with a microwave, catering to singles, couples, and families alike. The options range from studios to one to three bedroom suites, comfortably accommodating up to six people. Enjoy a cocktail or have lunch at Bello, a gorgeous rooftop bar that offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and Don Luis bridge. After a day of exploring the city, retreat to the hotel's serene spa, where the ancient Roman-inspired ambiance invites you to rest and recharge.
