Located on a high point of the city, Porto River Soul Hotel offers one of the most stunning views over the Douro River. Inspired by the Douro River and Port Wine, its symbol is the barco rabelo - a traditional Portuguese boat that once transported Port wine barrels from the Upper Douro region. It remains one of the most iconic symbols of Porto and Gaia. Savour the wines of Porto and Douro while admiring the river, the barco rabelo, and the city of Porto. The hotel features a panoramic terrace on the 4th floor, with a front-facing view of the river and the city, and a petite pool available during the summer months. Just a few minutes from the Douro River, the Port Wine Cellars, Luís I Bridge, Ribeira, the cable car, and many other points of interest. Discover the soul of Gaia, Porto, the river, and the wine from Porto River Soul Hotel. From here, dreams begin and the journey starts.
