HISTORY
The building where the Pestana Douro is located today, results from the conversion of a historical factory in the Portuguese industrial panorama, built in 1888. The large chimney next to the reception is one of the living testimonies of this past. Through different administrations (Monteiro Santos & Companhia, Companhia Fabril do Douro, Companhia Alliança Fabril, CUF and Floral) lasting over a century, the factory produced candles, soap and vegetable oils, with an interregnum of 15 years for adaptation works.
Previously the space was used for various purposes until it was deactivated and finally adapted to this tourist project – the Pestana Douro Hotel.
