The Pestana Porto – Goldsmith is a 4-star hotel located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of several restaurants, bars and shops. Made up of five buildings from the 19th century, listed as Municipal Heritage, the hotel is inspired by Portuguese filigree, the art of working gold and other metals into twisted threads, with intricate patterns. There is a rooftop lounge bar with panoramic views of the city. The rooms are filled with natural light and reflect the comfort provided by the vintage-inspired decoration. The large windows and balcony look out over Rua do Almada, the Torre dos Clérigos or Avenida dos Aliados.
