Situated on Gaia’s waterfront, The Rebello Hotel & Spa is the perfect place to explore the home of Port Wine. Built within the solid stonework of the 19th-century warehouses that raised Porto, the hotel features a Spa & Wellness area inspired by Ancient Roman baths, with a Tranquillity Water Lounge, sauna and gym.

It’s possible to enjoy artisanal pizza or petiscos while taking in a spectacular view of the Douro River at Bello Rooftop or go to Pot&Pan, the on-site restaurant which offers tapas-style dishes to share.

Designed not only for friends, families and pets but also for “un-corporate corporate” purposes, there are unique meeting rooms inspired by an industrial chic atmosphere. All the 103 suites are artfully decorated and can range from studios to three-bedroom duplex. Reimagined for today with ample space to live.

The Vintage Hotel & Spa is a celebration of Lisbon - from the buzzing local culture to its history and architecture. We aim to create an original and authentic experience while offering a piece of Lisbon our guests can call their own.

To indulge in breathtaking views of the Lisbon skyline, guests can head to the V Rooftop Bar. Blue Bistrot specialises in traditional Portuguese cuisine with a twist, while the Hangout Bar - where they can load a vinyl record onto the turntable or listen to live music every Tuesday and Thursday - serves cocktails and much more.

Vintage welcomes not only furry friends but also events and conferences in one of its two meeting rooms.

Plus, the Spa has modern facilities that include a tranquillity water lounge, treatment rooms and a well-equipped gym.
