On Lisbon’s Rua de São Bento, where antique shops and design studios jostle for space, The Verse has redefined the art of the aparthotel. Set in a restored building by architect João Luís Carrilho da Graça, with interiors by Studio Astolfi, the 15 apartments mix warm oak, limestone and microcement with sculptural furniture and custom lighting. From compact studios to two-bedroom suites with terraces, each space feels as considered as a private residence. Downstairs, a lobby-meets-cocktail bar draws locals in for a drink, while a discreet concierge service arranges private dinners, market visits and museum tours.

Porto changes, but Hospes Infante Sagres remains – now more radiant than ever. Since 1951, this landmark hotel has been the city’s quiet aristocrat, hosting dignitaries, artists and travellers drawn to its old-world grandeur. After an elegant restoration under the Hospes Hotels banner, it hasn’t lost an ounce of its soul – only gained new life. The hotel’s façade still whispers of Porto’s gilded age, but step inside and the story deepens. The grand ironwork staircase, the stained-glass ceiling and the 19th-century chandeliers remain, casting a soft, golden glow over the lobby’s luxe furnishings. Yet, there’s a new energy in the air. The rooms, now dressed in a richer palette of deep indigos, burnished golds and soft velvets, feel timeless and inviting. The hotel’s famed Barão Fladgate restaurant reinvents Portuguese classics with a modern hand, while its intimate wine cellar serves as a portal to the Douro Valley’s finest vintages.

The Lince Santa Clara, a dazzling addition to Vila do Conde’s hospitality scene, stands as a testament to the seamless blend of history and modernity. Crafted within a neoclassical heritage building, this establishment is just a 25-minute journey from Porto’s vibrant heart, offering breathtaking coastal views. Its design, a harmonious marriage of classical grace and contemporary luxury, features an infinity pool and a wellness centre, promising indulgent relaxation. Culinary excellence takes centre stage with two distinct dining experiences: one, helmed by a celebrated two Michelin-starred chef, offers inventive gastronomic delights, while the other delves into the rich tapestry of traditional Portuguese flavours.
