"Another in a long, long list of impressive Portuguese boutique hotels is Pur Oporto, a colorful little gem mere minutes from the city center. Its primary aesthetic inspiration is azulejo, the tilework for which the region is famous; as a decorative element tile is present in varying guises all throughout the hotel. Sky blue is the dominant tone, lending the rooms a soothing softness; some of the rooms (and all of the suites) come with outdoor terrace space. In classic European boutique-hotel style it lacks a full-service restaurant of its own; in this area its relatively central location fills the gap." - Tablet Hotels
