Hotel Vila Galé Porto Ribeira

On the Douro's edge in Cais das Pedras, minutes from Porto's historic centre and the colorful Ribeira. Right opposite the river near Alfândega do Porto and close to the Museum of Port Wine, Crystal Palace Gardens and the Electric Tram Museum. About 10–15 km from Sá Carneiro (Porto) Airport and a short stroll from Lordelo do Ouro and the Foz coastline.

A boutique hotel born from the refurbishment of four buildings, Vila Galé Porto Ribeira is themed around painting and plugged into Porto's riverside energy. The property has 67 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, LCD TVs, safes and blackout drapes; some rooms frame the Douro as their backdrop. The reception and lobby keep a strong relationship with the river, and the hotel runs a paper-free concept with tablet check-in and in-room TV portals for guest info.
