Hotel Dom Henrique in Porto, Grande Porto, Portugal | Hotel

The building of Hotel Dom Henrique in Porto Portugal was originally a bold project of 2 famous arquitects from Porto, Arq. Pádua and Arq. Loureiro, who had planned the construction of an office building, which would be the first high-raise building in the city made with concrete. Only after being already built it was turned into a Hotel, after the proprietary, Mr. Afonso Pinto de Magalhães, came to the conclusion that the city needed a good 4 star Hotel, being inaugurated in 1973.

Due to its architectonic characteristics, is an important landmark in the City, on the edge of being classified as Architectural Patrimony, and is used as “case study” at the faculty of architecture of Porto University.

During these over thirty years the Hotel, with its 112 rooms, the Restaurant Além-Mar, a Panoramic Bar on the 17th floor and multi-purpose rooms for meetings and other events – highlighting the views from Room Navegador, on the 18th floor - was at all times property of the same family and has been submitted to several improvements, of which stands out a major renovation in 1985 that forced to its closure, reopening in 1986. Hotel Dom Henrique has suffered another ample intervention in 1997, but this time phased, allowing its services to continue functioning with the usual high quality standards.

In pursuing our objective of providing the best and more comfortable accommodations for our clients the update of our premises is a priority; therefore, after these extensive renovations, several refurbishments and equipment updates have been and will continue to be undertaken.

According to the new Tobacco Law Hotel Dom Henrique is a totally non-smoking space since January 2008.
