The Yeatman
FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW
If you count wine among your passions, a stay at the British-inspired Yeatman Hotel should be on your itinerary. The brainchild of Adrian Bridge, head of leading Port producer Taylor Fladgate, the hotel has fine wine as a recurrent theme, from the decanter-shaped outdoor infinity pool to the individually designed rooms, each created in partnership with a different Portuguese winery. The on-site cellar, curated by wine director Beatriz Machado, holds one of the most extensive wine collections in Portugal, with more than 20,000 bottles. There’s relaxed dining at the Orangerie, while the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant showcases the skills of one of Portugal’s most acclaimed chefs. The Yeatman also paved the way for the regeneration of this previously neglected part of town, now home to the World of Wine cultural district.
