Torel Avantgarde
Striking design, sweeping Douro River views and one of Porto’s most enviable pools put Torel Avantgarde firmly in bucket-list territory. This five-star boutique hideaway is as much an artistic statement as it is a luxury stay, with bold designer interiors inspired by avant-garde icons and terraces that look out across the city’s terracotta rooftops and colourful riverside.
Spend sun-soaked afternoons beside the outdoor pool overlooking the Douro, then settle in at stylish Digby Restaurant & Bar, where contemporary Portuguese flavours and signature cocktails come with yet more spectacular river views. When it’s time to slow the pace, Calla Wellness & Spa offers a heated pool, sauna, sensory showers and indulgent treatments designed for complete switch-off.
The accolades speak for themselves: Torel Avantgarde holds one MICHELIN Key and was named ‘Best 5-Star Hotel in Portugal’ at the Publituris Portugal Travel Awards. Your Porto escape also includes a Six Bridges cruise along the Douro, giving you a front-row view of the city’s vibrant waterfront, Vila Nova de Gaia and the iconic bridges connecting its two riverbanks.
