Fodor's Expert Review Grande Hotel do Porto
Rua de Santa Catarina 197, Porto, Porto, 4000-450, Portugal
If you enjoy shopping, you can't do better than the stately Grande Hotel do Porto, which sits on the city's most popular shopping street. In business since 1880, it's one of the country's oldest hotels and has hosted celebrities and royalty throughout its long history. Public areas like the Windsor Bar are full of turn-of-the-last-century details, and the streamlined guest rooms are loaded with modern amenities. A terrace has impressive views over the city.
