3 Best Hotels in Greater Porto, Porto

A favorite among music-loving visitors to Porto, Mouco is part minimalist-chic hotel, part live music venue, and part bar-restaurant—like having a nightlife district on your doorstep. Everything is designed with an eye for detail and an ear for music: guests can pick out vinyl to play on their own in-room turntable, and there's music on in the background from breakfast through late-night drinks. The hotel has an informal cafe-bar for light lunches and evening DJ sets, as well as a formal restaurant. The downstairs performance rooms host established and up-and-coming bands from across the musical spectrum. Rooms are well soundproofed, so the musical backdrop is unlikely to impact your sleep. It's now run by Outsite, a California-based co-living brand that caters to digital nomads and remote workers, and has added amenities like co-working spaces and meeting rooms.

In a modern tower northwest of the city center, the Crowne Plaza Porto has a handy location near the business district and all the amenities a traveling executive might need. Leisure travelers can take advantage of the proximity to shopping opportunities and the Casa da Música. There's a well-equipped fitness center and spa on-site as well as good food and drinks at SOMO restaurant.

With a handy location for the city's business district, the Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa blends elegant design with plenty of creature comforts. The towering white building lets in lots of  natural light through its glass facade, illuminating the pool and winter garden. The on-site dining is excellent, especially the high-end Porto Novo, and the soothing spa is a major draw for those in need of a little pampering.
