A new jewel in Porto
The hotel's commitment to the environment goes beyond its construction. It uses renewable energy, produces 20% of its own energy requirements, has 70 photovoltaic modules, water reuse, and a technical management system that optimizes water and energy consumption. All this without compromising on comfort.
The interior design reflects this fusion of nature and modernity. In the spacious lobby, white marble meets wood, which covers the walls, columns, and furniture. The exterior walls and ceilings are made of binderholz CLT BBS in visible quality. The corridor walls and ceilings are clad with binderholz 3-ply solid wood panels. There is also an impressive reception desk, carved from a single tree trunk by Paulo Neves, a Portuguese artist.
