Hotel Infante Sagres

Step through the doors of Hospes Infante Sagres Porto and you are transported into another world — Portugal of the 1950s, preserved in style, service, and atmosphere. I stayed here with my eighty-five-year-old mother and my five-year-old son, and it was a stay we will always remember. My eighty-five-year-old mother has spent her life traveling as a frequent Cunard world cruiser. She has stayed in some of the most celebrated hotels on earth — Raffles in Phnom Penh, the Waldorf Astoria in New York, Ashford Castle in Ireland, the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco, the Claremont Club in Berkeley, The Savoy in London, the Sofitel Dalat Palace in Vietnam, the Metropole in Hanoi, the Hassler in Rome, the Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe, and even the classic Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. She knows true five-star service when she sees it — and Hospes Infante Sagres Porto stands comfortably alongside these icons. Porto outside the doors of the hotel is alive with steep hills, tight streets, cars, and constant movement. It is thrilling, but it wears on you. Inside this hotel, everything slows down. The front desk host welcomed us with a smooth, unhurried check-in and a glass of port wine. The bellman carried himself with quiet professionalism, and the restaurant team treated us like valued guests at every meal. Our room was spotless, the air conditioning worked perfectly (essential when traveling in Southern Europe), and anything we requested — towels, blankets — arrived in minutes. The courtyard restaurant served fresh oysters and excellent dishes, and it was also an easy, comfortable place for a five-year-old. The pool and patio became our quiet retreat after the city. Hospes Infante Sagres Porto captures Porto perfectly — the energy and movement outside, and the calm and comfort within. You feel the history here, and the location puts you in the middle of everything. It is an oasis in the heart of the city, and if you do not stay here, you are missing the essence of Porto.

The hotel is ,first of all ,so beautiful, and the staff is extremely helpful. We had a large quiet and very comfortable room for a week, on the first floor where there is a beautiful landing with couches and coffee tables where we could play cards ! The breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the tiny pool on the roof was appreciated with our grandchildren who came to visit. When we got sick few days apart after the cruise on the Douro, the lovely concierge called doctors who came to the hotel to take care of us and the concierge even sent someone to the pharmacy to get our meds! All done with the utmost kindness and we are grateful<3. The central location of the hotel cannot be better, we could walk just about everywhere around Porto which is a very pleasant town to visit , one of my favorite walk was to go the local market were I had oysters, seasonal fruits, sardines etc.... a dream ! a 7mn walk from the hotel, on the recommendation of the fantastic concierge who also recommended a very special restaurant at the harbour for grilled sardines that I adored!!! El Rey de Sardinas!!! The hotel has a beautiful lobby (see pictures) and an elevator , every member of the staff, doormen and breakfast staff were all above and beyond ! I loved Porto very much and would go back in a minute, only if I can stay and Hospes Infante Sagres of course

Reservation made, this time, directly in the hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was even better this time, with new and delicious additions to the buffet. The night was again fabulous.

We really enjoyed our stay this hotel. The rooms and finishes are very nice. We were impressed by the size of the dining rooms and quality of the bathrooms as well Service from the staff was amazing very helpful, especially with our four year old Most days we enjoyed drinks during the happy hour at the bar, good place to relax Location of hotel is excellent - loads of places to eat and drink, you can walk down to the river or walk to parks/shops/attractions For us the main downside was the pool is a bit small - it was usually quiet though and had plenty of sun so we enjoyed it Overall highly recommend the hotel and we will come back when we visit Porto again!

We reserved this hotel for October 2025. We booked a fully cancellable room. The email and website said that our card information would be used to hold the reservation and we would be charged at the time we arrived. In fact the entire cost of the stay was billed to us when we made the reservation. That's ok I guess but unexpected and not as described. We cancelled the reservation as we decided to make other arrangements, not the fault of the hotel.
