At the Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel, luxury meets historical charm for the most serene and vibrant boutique resort experience. The hotel, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s many esteemed establishments, is located in the heart of Porto, Portugal, and offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and Renaissance-inspired elegance. 

The hotel, located on Lapa’s hills, boasts panoramic city views and 163 rooms offering an elevated living experience, along with suites that feature private balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Drawing inspiration from the city, local architecture firm Visioarq Arquitectos and interior designers Broadway Malyan were commissioned to create Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel as an “Art House in The Park.” Inspired by theatrical designs, the resort’s color scheme features pretty pastel pinks, champagne golds and dashes of petrol blue, all paying homage to the iconic Douro River, which runs through Porto and Gaia. Guests can see a piece of history in the beautiful vintage Portuguese tiles adorning the walls behind original art pieces from renowned international artists.

Perhaps the most notable aspect of the Renaissance Porto Lapa is that it is a brand new property, built on what used to be an abandoned farm, known as Quinta das Águas Férreas. In an effort to revive and preserve the water duct that once crossed the farm, the area also contains a public park, scheduled to open this summer.

The Renaissance Porto Lapa is a sleek, sophisticated urban hideaway in Porto’s center, perfect for those who crave a private, laid-back getaway in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a city.
