One Monumental Palace
Grand Parisian Art Deco meets neoclassical Porto — lacquered furniture, pastel fabrics, decorative mirrors, and gold lamps. Formal without being stuffy. The kind of place where cocktail hour at Bar Americain feels like a scene from a 1920s novel.
Non-guests can access the Grand Bleu Spa via the 'Aqua Pass' (€40/person) — useful if you want the pool without booking a room
Why It Matters
One of Porto's most architecturally significant hotels, with a Michelin-starred restaurant (Le Monument) that has held its star four consecutive years under French chef Julien Montbabut. Recognized by Leading Hotels of the World, Virtuoso, Forbes Travel Guide, and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts.
A 1923 neoclassical palace on Porto's grand Avenida dos Aliados, now operating as a five-star luxury hotel under The One Hotels group. The interiors are a love letter to Belle Époque and Art Deco — white Estremoz marble, black ironwork, coffered ceilings, and a spectacular lobby staircase. It punches well above its 76-room count thanks to a Michelin-starred restaurant, a 350 m² spa with a seriously atmospheric indoor pool, and a Japanese restaurant from one of Portugal's top chefs.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Avenida Suite
Independent living room, a balcony looking out over Avenida dos Aliados from the 5th floor, and warm, considered decor. A rare chance to watch Porto's main boulevard from above with a drink in hand.
Double · 57 sqm
Deluxe Room
Same footprint as the Superior but positioned on upper floors for better natural light. A worthwhile step up if you're sensitive to street-level noise or lower-floor darkness.
Double or Twin · 29 sqm
Deluxe Suite
Spread across five floors of the palace, these suites face the interior patio. Bright, elegant spaces that open onto the hotel's private courtyard — home to the MrDheo graffiti mural.
Double · 45 sqm
Grand Deluxe City Views
A modest size bump to 33 m² and the real draw: views out over Porto. Worth the upgrade if you want to look out at the city from your room.
Double or Twin · 33 sqm
Grand Deluxe Suite
Sophisticated and polished with striking prints and refined details. Same 45 m² as the Deluxe Suite but with a different decor personality — more formal, more layered.
Double or Twin · 45 sqm
Monumental Suite
The flagship: 87 m² of apartment-style living styled like a lavish private residence. Can connect to an adjoining room for maximum space. The polished furniture, layered textures, and oversized mirrors make it one of Porto's most impressive hotel suites.
Double · 87 sqm
Porto Suite
80 m² of 1930s-style decor overlooking Avenida dos Aliados. The room is large enough to feel genuinely apartment-like, with twin beds as standard — unusual at this category but easily convertible. Think polished wood, art deco prints, and bold statement pieces.
Twin · 80 sqm
Superior Room
Entry-level rooms that still punch with Art Deco furnishings, gleaming marble bathrooms, lacquered furniture, and pastel fabrics. At 29 m² they're compact by luxury hotel standards, but the high ceilings help. All rooms include Nespresso machine, minibar, flat-screen TV, and Eight & Bob bath products.
Double or Twin · 29 sqmTower Duplex Suite
A duplex layout on the 5th floor with a private balcony and sweeping Porto views. Two levels of space gives it a real apartment feel — ideal for longer stays or anyone who likes room to move.
