On the banks of the Douro River, a hotel that offers unique experiences
Pestana Douro Riverside, member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, is located on the right bank of the Douro River, 10 minutes away from Porto city center. A fascinating setting for your stay!
Floral and sophisticated
It offers a breathtaking view of the Douro river, ideal for individual or family stays. In addition to its comfortable rooms and suites, it also features a grill restaurant, a rooftop with bar and infinity pool, a gym, massage rooms and indoor pool. It is also an excellent choice for meetings, with several conference rooms, and a huge hall adaptable to large events.
The Pestana Douro Riverside results from the conversion of a historic factory in the Portuguese industrial landscape, built in 1888. Through different administrations and over a century, the factory produced candles, soap, and vegetable oils. The large chimney next to the reception is one of the living testimonies of this past.
The hotel thus combines the most modern technology with the heritage of a historic factory. Inspired by the aromas of floral soaps once produced here, each floor is dedicated to the scent and color of the flowers that identifies it: lavender, jasmine, orange blossom, rose, cherry blossom, chamomile, geranium and lily.

Restaurants and BarsRestaurants and Bars
The Aroma Grill Restaurant takes advantage of the proximity to the river and the beautiful landscape to enhance the richness of flavors and the balance of ingredients.
The hotel has two bars. In the main and most sophisticated bar, The Great Daisy, you can sample regional wines and cocktails in an intimate and stylish setting. The 2nd bar, which is next to the infinity pool isn’t any less impressive—it is the ideal place for a cold drink and, on milder days, to enjoy the sunset.
For those who prefer a more modest and peaceful meal, they can choose to request room service.
