& Books Porto
Contemporary Portuguese boutique. Think warm wood, curated literary touches, and moody but unfussy interiors. Modern without being cold. Serious about both wine and wellness.

Why It Matters
Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, with a rooftop bar open to the public and a spa that punches well above average for a city-centre property. Livraria Lello — Porto's iconic bookshop — is literally a few steps away, which makes the wine-and-books concept feel genuinely earned rather than marketing.
A 5-star boutique hotel sitting square in Porto's historic centre — between the Bolhão market and Aliados avenue — that builds its entire identity around the city's two great passions: wine and literature. Seventy rooms spread across seven floors, all designed with warm neutral tones, metallic accents, and soundproofed windows that keep the city hum at bay. The name is not just a concept: expect a book-lined café, a rooftop bar with Clérigos Tower views, and a proper spa with a 20-metre indoor heated pool.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe
From EUR218 / nightA meaningful step up from the Superiors at 35m². Comfortably sized for a city-centre room — enough space that you won't feel the walls. Can connect to adjacent Superior rooms on request.
Various compositions · 35 sqm
Junior Suite
From EUR287 / nightOn the top floor with a private terrace and views over the city. The layout splits into sleeping, living (sofa bed), and working areas — genuinely useful if you need space to spread out. The bathroom has two sinks and a double shower, which matters when sharing.
King (200cm) · 39 sqm
Master Suite
From EUR355 / nightThe top of the lineup at 53m² on the top floor. A genuinely separate apartment-style layout: private bedroom with its own bathroom, a living room with dinner table and sofa bed, and a working area. The terrace looks out over the Clérigos Tower. Sleeps up to 4.
King (200cm) · 53 sqm
Premium
From EUR225 / nightMarketed as the 'Deluxe Plus' on earlier versions of the site, the Premium fits up to four people and includes a comfortable sofa bed. Good choice for families — the layout gives breathing room without jumping to a full suite.
Various compositions · 34 sqm
Superior
From EUR163 / nightThe entry-level rooms and, frankly, the most compact option at 25m². Still well-kitted — rainfall shower, minibar, pillow menu, soundproofed windows. Four of these can connect to Deluxe rooms on request, which is handy for groups.
Various compositions (double or twin on request) · 25 sqm
Superior with Balcony
From EUR201 / nightSame footprint as the standard Superior but with a balcony looking out over Porto's streets. Good option for a bit of fresh air and city ambience without paying suite prices.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The Café does a reinvented afternoon tea with petit fours (sweet and savoury) and a selection of artisan teas. An alternative to the rooftop if you want a quieter setting.
The open-air rooftop bar runs until midnight daily (weather permitting) and is open to guests and non-guests. Panoramic views of Porto from the Clérigos Tower to the Crystal Palace. Best at dusk.
Transfer service to/from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (approximately 15 km) available on request, including vehicle hire option.
The concierge team organises wine tasting arrangements, restaurant bookings, and personalised city guides. Reviews specifically call out staff going above and beyond with local tips and personalised recommendations.
The hotel runs a curated book club experience — guests can engage with Porto's literary culture through the hotel's book curation service and in-hotel book collection. The Café itself is styled as a literary salon.
