The Hotel
Hotel Infante Sagres is Porto’s most prestigious city center address, and has been a meeting place for many since its inception in 1951.
It’s lobby and eating salon have become beacons of history in Oporto, and are somewhat untouched to maintain the flair and glamour behind Infante Sagres, how it’s commonly named by the locals.
The furnishing and attention to detail in every different texture on the walls and throughout even the staircase, show the importance of design in this hotel. When you step inside the hotel you feel immediately connected to the years of excellence the hotel has to share.
Going further, with around 85 rooms and suites total, each and every space has a tailored interior design decoration made possible with beautiful textiles, and striking finishes in both natural woods and marbles. Giving a different taste of luxury to each room’s personality.
The Experience
Apart from its luxurious rooms, you can find glamourous food just around the corner. Since Hotel Infante Sagres is the home of the Vogue Café, in Porto.
The first of its kind in Portugal, after great locations such as Dubai and Bangkok. It’s the perfect way to take a breather after a long day, in great company! The magazines on the wall and the great interiors are bound to be your second home.
And if that is not your personal taste of the moment for relaxation, you can always visit the hotel’s rooftop and pool. A mirror to the city landscape and river, making you feel as if you are alone in Oporto.
The simple yet strong colored details in the rooftop invoke the importance of tile craftmanship in Portugal. You will see panels with beautiful tiles all around the city and the hotel.
Be sure to drink some native Port wine here too, and contemplate how lucky you are to also be a part of Hotel Infante Sagres’s history!
