Torel 1884 Suites & Apartments, Porto, Portugal – A Luxury Journey Across Continents
In the heart of Porto, where history meets vibrant streets, Torel 1884 Suites & Apartments offers a rare kind of luxury. Opened in February 2019, this intimate haven spans two locations—one on Rua de Mouzinho da Silveira and the other on Rua das Flores—each just steps away from the city's most cherished sights. It’s a space that marries local heritage with global storytelling, inviting guests to experience the world in one place.
Upon entering the hotel, you’re greeted by a sense of grandeur. The central pavilion, bathed in light, is both regal and welcoming, with high ceilings, an elegant staircase, and a stunning skylight that crowns the space. The atmosphere evokes the feeling of a grand palace, yet with a modern sensibility that keeps it grounded and accessible. It’s a place where every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the carefully restored elements to the contemporary additions.
My stay in the Double Deluxe Room was a personal journey through design and luxury. With a view of Clérigos Tower, the room offered an exceptional vantage point of Porto’s skyline. The Porcelana bathtub added an element of indulgence, inviting relaxation with a unique twist. The room itself, inspired by Asia, had a deep, calming palette of dark blues, accented by porcelain artistry on the walls. Every corner told a story, making it easy to lose oneself in the room’s narrative.
Torel 1884 is a hotel where each room carries the spirit of a different part of the world. The Café Room evokes the warmth and richness of South America’s coffee culture, with earthy tones and textures that reflect the continent’s passionate energy. The Malagueta Room, with its fiery reds and African-inspired art, brings the heat of Africa indoors. The Pássaros Exóticos Room transports you to the lush, vibrant jungles of South America, where exotic birds in textiles breathe life into the room. These rooms are more than just places to sleep—they are immersive spaces that engage with all the senses, each carefully designed to tell a unique story.
But what truly makes Torel 1884 stand out is its ability to blend immersive design with serene relaxation. You’ll find yourself lost in the beauty of the hotel’s interiors, yet just outside, Porto waits to be explored. The hotel’s dual locations provide both privacy and easy access to the city’s rich history, galleries, and vibrant culture.
Whether you’re sipping a drink in the lounge, taking in the view of Porto’s skyline, or stepping out into the lively streets, there’s a sense of belonging here that feels timeless. Torel 1884 is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to experience Porto from a different perspective, where every detail invites discovery, and every room offers a connection to the world.
