POUSADA DO FREIXO *****

Dated from 1742, Palácio do Freixo is one of the most beautiful monuments of Oporto (the capital of the north of Portugal). In its baroque style, this wonderful Palace was projected by the famous architect Nicolau Nasoni also responsible for the Porto ex-libris – Clérigos Tower.
Palácio do Freixo was classified as National Monument in 1910 and in 1986, the State acquired the palace to the Moagens Harmonia, which has installed a Professional training center. Later the Mayor granted the Palace to Group Pestana, for the construction of the biggest Pousada de Portugal – Pousada do Freixo.

HOTEL TEATRO ****

In the centre of the beautiful and historic Portuguese city of Porto, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hotel Teatro is an elegant innovation set in shades of bronze and gold. It has been built on the same site where the revered 1859 Teatro Baquet once stood. The theatre, which was destroyed by fire in 1888, had been a cultural hub for Porto, not only as the heart of the action in terms of music and performance; it was also a meeting place for the city’s people. 122 years later, the internationally celebrated designer Nini Andrade Silva, the Design Hotels™ Original behind Fontana Park and The Vine, brings the spirit of the Teatro Baquet back to life in the Hotel Teatro. The hotel reflects its roots in the theatrical and the spectacular, while transmitting an ultimately stylish and contemporary urbanity.
Silva’s trademark style is displayed throughout the every room. Guests are gradually enticed to participate in an integrated experience that becomes an elaborate show. The illusion continues through the top-floor Restaurant Palco’s exotic flavours and the Bar Plateia’s stage inspired décor. While gently allowing them to indulge in every contemporary amenity, this unique exercise in set design and staging, invites guests to understand the historic city as it was, and thanks to its ensured preservation, as it will be.
