Palácio das Cardosas
Palácio das Cardosas, Five-star hotel in Porto, Portugal
The Palácio das Cardosas is a luxury hotel at Praça da Liberdade with 105 rooms featuring marble bathrooms, crown molding, and floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The building blends historical architectural elements with modern amenities throughout its spaces.
The building was founded in 1834 as a convent and retained many of its religious architectural elements when converted to a hotel. This transformation shows how the structure evolved from a spiritual institution into a modern hospitality space.
The Astória restaurant within the building displays contemporary Portuguese artworks and serves regional dishes rooted in local food traditions. The space connects modern art with the culinary heritage that defines Porto's dining culture.
The hotel sits in central Porto with wheelchair access throughout the building and direct connections to Avenida dos Aliados. Guests can use the central location to explore the city's main sights on foot.
The hotel bar is designed in English Library style and features a grand piano that accentuates the room's elegant mood. The restaurant opens onto a terrace with views of Porto's skyline, allowing guests to see the city stretching across the river valley.
