Hotel Hospes Infante Sagrias - Royal Ambiance
We arrived at Hotel Hospes Infante Sagrias on 31st January 2024, after a silky smooth flight on TAP Portugal Airlines from London to Porto. The transfer from Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport on the fast, tranquil, sleek Metro train (directly next to the airport) to Estacion Trinidade in Central Porto only took 30 minutes on a 24-hour city travel card available at automatic machines for roughly €8. The hotel Infante Sagrias is situated in the historic heart of Porto; receptionists upgraded our room from Superior to Junior Suite at no extra cost and offered us daily sumptuous breakfast at a discounted rate. Everybody in the hotel is friendly and respectful in a quiet and tactful manner, etiquette is high class in Infante Sagrias and there is no exception. The hotel booked for us tickets to visit the famous Lello & Irmaõ, considered by many the most beautiful bookshop in the world. They booked us into restaurants, concerts and spa at the associated Intercontinental Hotel. On my wife’s birthday, the restaurant offered us a cake with lit candle as a present from Infante Sagres. We had 5 days of comfort and luxury in Infante Sagres and enjoyed leisurely visits to the Douro Ribeira ( Riverside), the Atlantic Ocean beach nearby, symphonic concert in Casa da Musica, breathtaking panoramic views from the Gardens of the Crystal Palace and delicious local cuisine. We made friends in the hotel and in Porto and would love to come back.
