Hospes Infante Sagres Porto - Small Luxury Hotels Of The World

We recently stayed at Hospes Infante Sagres for our wedding celebrations, including hosting our mehndi event at the hotel, and we cannot put into words how exceptional our experience was—thanks almost entirely to Ana Christine and her incredible management. From the very beginning, Ana went above and beyond in every single way. Planning a wedding from abroad is complicated, but she managed every detail with such ease, professionalism, and care that it felt effortless on our end. We had a large group of guests staying at the hotel as well as renting the venue for our celebration, which could have easily become overwhelming, yet Ana made the entire process seamless. She coordinated logistics flawlessly—accommodations, vendor communications, event setup, and the endless moving pieces that come with a cultural wedding celebration. More importantly, she did it all with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. It never once felt transactional; it felt like she truly cared about our experience, our guests’ comfort, and the success of our special day. Every challenge that arose, Ana solved with a smile and a calm confidence that immediately reassured us. She anticipated needs before we even voiced them, provided thoughtful recommendations, and always made herself available, no matter the time. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she took ownership of everything so that we could actually relax and enjoy the celebration with our loved ones. Our guests were equally impressed—not just by the beauty of the hotel, but by how cared for they felt under Ana’s management. From check-in to the event itself, every single guest commented on how smooth and welcoming the experience was. Hospes Infante Sagres is a beautiful venue in its own right, but what made our stay truly unforgettable was Ana’s dedication, heart, and professionalism. She turned what could have been a stressful, complex wedding weekend into something magical, easy, and full of joy. We are endlessly grateful to her and could not recommend both the hotel and Ana highly enough. If you are planning an event or even just considering a stay, trust us—you will be in the very best hands with Ana Christine.

Definitely not 5 star accommodation, I would have rated it slightly lower than a 4. The lobby area is beautiful and that was the highlight of our stay. Trying to find the place in a car is difficult - you have to take the offshoot street to the left before entering the tunnel which is often blocked. Finding nearby parking was also tricky. The room we stayed in was nothing special and didn't have great noise insulation. I could hear an alarm go off next door and it was easy to hear people walking outside our room. Breakfast was served in the back of the adjoining restaurant and felt like we were in a cafeteria. Overall service was good but not exceptional.

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hotel is nothing short of a truly tasteful masterpiece! The staff is nothing short of warm and welcoming. The location is incredibly convenient. We do want to add that Ana Silva, the manager that attended to us was nothing short of a sweet heart! She was so accommodating and incredibly helpful. We actually felt a pang of sadness when we said goodbye. We highly recommend Infante Sagres💕

Four star hotel in reality. The decoration looks high quality but living a few days, you feel the four start from inside out. Bottle of waters provided in the room are very nice. Bathroom is very spacious. A bit noisy at night from the dancing crowd in the street. Breakfast has a wide selection. Good location. Not much to complain.

Overall, a good stay—closer to 4 stars than 5. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and of good quality. The Scarlet restaurant was a good , both in atmosphere and service. Breakfast, however, was just average, and the breakfast room lacked charm, feeling somewhat uninspiring. The reception staff were professional but not particularly welcoming, which impacted the overall warmth of the stay. The lobby, while in keeping with a traditional/historical style, feels outdated, with old books on the tables adding to a slightly tired impression. There is no on-site parking or valet service, but a public car park is located about 200 meters away. In summary, this hotel offers quality rooms but it could benefit from a warmer atmosphere, a fresher lobby, and a more inviting breakfast experience.

My partner and I stayed here for the Porto portion of our Portugal trip, and Hospes Infante Sagres did not disappoint. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The first and second floors feel like a dream, and are so meticulously decorated while still being comfortable and inviting. We agreed that the included breakfast was the best complimentary breakfast we had ever had. We were sad to find that this Hospes location does not have a spa, but we are just further motivated now to stay at a Hospes property with a spa in the future. We can't recommend this hotel enough!||Our one note of criticism is that you could skip Scarlett, the hotel restaurant - if you're the unadventurous business traveler and just want a cheeseburger, then fine, but otherwise there are more interesting and tasty places to eat in the city proper.

Our stay was so incredibly lovely and luxurious. The hotel is so beautiful and sumptuous! The staff was so accommodating, kind, understanding and warm to our whole group. A large group of us came quite suddenly after leaving the duoro because of fires and the staff was so welcoming and understanding. The breakfast was so deluxe! Fresh honeycomb, passion fruit, cappuccinos! We highly recommend this hotel and special thanks to Eva at the front desk for being so kind and helpful! The courtyard was a dream.

The hotel is located in central Porto and is a walkable distance to every major tourist location, including about a 30-45 min walk to the Port houses across the river. The hotel is beautifully appointed, having recently been renovated, with attention paid to period details. I was impressed by the delicious breakfast service. I particularly appreciated the attentive and extremely friendly service of the hotel staff, some even referring to me by name multiple days after checking. I felt the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We splurged for the junior suite as we had 3 of us traveling together and it was very comfortable with the addition of a cot in the room. Or note, the restaurant has an extremely tasty and affordable happy hour with 1€ oysters on the half shell. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Elegant hotel. Great location in the city center. Easy to walk everywhere. Attentive staff. Special shout out to the concierge who helped us with trains and reservations. The breakfast is extensive and includes everything you could possibly want. There is a small lounge pool with a beautiful sun deck. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are a good size. The marble bathroom has a tub and shower and is very big.

Very central location. We walked everywhere during our 3 night stay here. Very close to the train station where we took the train from Coimbra. And also walkable to metro station for airport. The front desk greeted us with choice of port wine. We had no idea there was Pink port and how delicious it was! We asked where it was from and ended up visiting Calem for some port wine tasting. (not to be missed) The staff was really friendly and courteous. Since I used a white cane, someone always rushed to push the elevator button for me and held the door for me! And they remember hubby's name and greeted him with Good evening, Mr. (lastname.) Talking about top notch customer service. Buffet breakfast at the Vogue Restaurant was really good and fancy. Love the high end vintage feel. The only minor downside is it's slightly noisy at night. We could hear people partying at the square downstairs way past 3am. If you are a light sleeper, maybe can request a quiet room or wear earplugs. Would stay here again!

Great location in Porto. Fantastic brunch selection. Lovely outdoor patio. One evening we sat on the patio and played games and had appetizers. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Easy location to meet up with local tour groups, too. Small pool area, but nice. Definitely would stay there again,

Booked this hotel through Made for Spain and Portugal, supposedly a 5 Star hotel, it's anything but. We've had constant issues with the thermostat in our room, which, every time you take the key card out of the lights so let reverts to 28 degrees Celsius (about 85 F) The parking situation is a complete joke, firstly no valet option and the nearest public parking lot is always full meaning one has to drive 5 blocks away and park in the local department store underground parking, which also runs out of spots. The rooms are just ok, but very noisy given the location near many late night clubs. One of the worst hotel experiences I've had in a long time!

Very nice, enjoyed our stay. This was booked for us through our travel agent and included breakfast. Breakfast had plenty of options. Rooms were very nice. Excellent shower. Nice bathroom products (although I wish they had provided lotion). Staff was very pleasant. They even provided us with boxed breakfast on our last day since we had a very early train (we did put in a request for this).
