The Editory Artist Hotel, Porto, Portugal - Explore & Book

"Creativity is at the heart of The Editory Artist Hotel. Having functioned as an art college for decades, remnants of the building's heritage are everywhere. Old report cards are pinned up on walls, and paintings and sculptures by former students are exhibited in every room – look closely and you might even spot the grade each student was awarded for their masterpiece. Today, education takes on a new form: the hotel is fully run and managed by protégé students from the local tourism school, so all staff are young, eager, and out to impress.Upon our arrival, we were greeted by friendly faces and treated to a very welcome glass of port wine with some local sweet treats. Everything inside felt gloriously retro, with plump settees and antique writing desks in the 17 bedrooms, bold colours and patterned prints in the dining room, and artworks everywhere. The restaurant serves ‘surprise’ five- or seven-course tasting menus that change daily, and we were truly bowled over by the standard – little wonder the hotel is gaining quite the culinary reputation across the city. Step outside onto the quiet street and you'll find a bustling shopping area five minutes' walk away, plus the city's main sights beyond. Secluded, stylish and wonderfully unique: just what we love. Highs The innovative tasting menu is delicious and very reasonably pricedThe hotel provides you with a smartphone upon check-in which is preloaded with maps, walking tours and recommendations Rooms are large for a city hotel, especially the Library Suite which has a separate dining/seating areaYou get a glass of port wine and traditional cake on arrival - a nice touchSet in a quieter area of Porto so you can’t hear any street noise from the rooms Lows The majority of staff are students so naturally the service may not always be 100%, although we found staff to be charming and very well trainedThey cater for events in the main bar area, so it's sometimes closed to guestsThe hotel is located away from the central tourist areas, but sights are within easy walking distanceA limited breakfast during weekends (buffet only)" - Sophie Potter

We had a wonderful stay at the Editory Artist Baixa, a lovely hotel and huge room! beautifully decorated with art and mid-century furniture. Very clean. All the staff were lovely and very helpful. Delicious breakfasts (continental and cooked breakfasts) served in the pretty garden. A good base to explore Porto from, a short walk to sights, shops and restaurants. Public transport is a bit further but ubers are very cheap in Porto if feeling tired on the way back.|Would totally recommend.

Very happy. The room was larger than most, plenty of space. Easy walking to restaurants and cafes and places of interest. I think maybe a little understaffed? We used the Editory Garden bar and restaurant and did struggle to find someone to talk orders and then to pay. We had one dinner at the Editory Garden (same kitchen as Artist hotel I think?). The fish was excellent. The tenderloin was really over cooked, and I had asked for medium rare. My advise is to stay here, have a drink here but don’t eat here

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel with our little one in a lovely suite. The team made sure we had everything we needed, including a comfortable baby cot ready for us. The hotel itself is stunning, with beautiful art pieces on display throughout the public spaces and in our room. Our suite was very tastefully furnished, and we especially loved the gorgeous bathtub—using it every day felt like a real treat!||The continental breakfast was a highlight for us, offering plenty of delicious choices, including mimosas to make the mornings extra special. We also tried several room service meals and were impressed—they tasted just like dishes you’d find at a top restaurant. The staff were always warm and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Honestly, this was the best hotel experience we've had in a long time, and we can't wait to return.||If you’re exploring the area, I highly recommend dining at Mercearia Firmeza Gourmet, just down the street, for authentic Portuguese cuisine and wonderful service. We also strolled over to Mercado do Bolhão, a charming market full of unique artisanal vendors. Overall, we left with great memories and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely Hotel in a quiet location but close to the city centre. The staff were wonderful complimentary port on arrival. The receptionist was extremely helpful showing us where to go what to see. Got back to hotel first evening and was surprised with a complimentary glass of wine to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. |The room was large with comfortable bed with tea and coffee facilities (got milk on last day!) The bathroom was very large with a bath and shower over head. Only downside was that when you used the shower it flooded the floor in the bathroom due to the position of the shower head.|All in all definitely visit again.

Had a wonderful stay. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Ideal location,beds were like sleeping on clouds and our 7 course dinner experience was by far the best food we have had anywhere we have travelled. Even when I managed to leave my phone in the taxi at the airport a quick phone call to the hotel and they had it returned to me within 15 minutes. Highly recommend😍

I really enjoyed staying here. The room was comfortable and clean. The place was quiet and had a relaxing ambiance. The staff were friendly and very helpful. It was also in walking distance to many shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

This charming small hotel is in a great location, close to everything you might want to see or do. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a glass of white wine and a delicious Pastel de Nata, the famous Portuguese egg tart—a thoughtful and delightful touch. Both this property and its sister hotel next door share a beautiful courtyard, perfect for relaxing, enjoying a coffee or wine, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. A lovely spot for a memorable stay.

The Editory Artist hotel is a quiet gem. The rooms are spacious with a modern bathroom. We had the most comfortable pillows and bed I’ve slept in traveling in a while. The staff are uber helpful and responsive. The hotel is on a quiet street but is a short walk to the main avenue with restaurants and major tourist attractions.
