The Rebello Hotel & Spa originates from the transformation of several 19th-century factory buildings, offering breathtaking views of the Douro River and Porto’s historic centre.
The Rebello is a stunning hotel in Porto offering 103 accommodation units, ranging from studios to one and two-bedroom suites, and even three-bedroom penthouse apartments. Each is uniquely designed and features a fully equipped kitchen. There's an Ancient Roman-style spa, a small but mighty gym, a kids club, a restaurant and a rooftop bar with outstanding city views.
Taking inspiration from its historical industrial setting, lead designer Daniela Franceschini of the Lisbon-based Quiet Studios infused the interiors with a blend of creativity and nods to its storied past. The studio curated fine art from various artists and galleries while sourcing vintage items. They also designed most of The Rebello's furniture, including pieces for the rooms and spa, encompassing lighting, rugs, mirrors, and other decorative elements.
A brief walk from The Rebello leads to the historic port houses. Continue for another five minutes, and you'll cross the iconic Ponte Luis I bridge, entering Porto's city centre and the UNESCO-listed Ribeira riverfront neighbourhood.
The hotel's name honours Porto's legacy of port wine warehousing and the traditional wooden cargo boats, called rabelos, that once sailed its waters.
