Norte Region, Porto
Torel Saboaria
Hotel
TLE Recommends: The front of reception staff are so engaged, so eager to please, so excited about the hotel and its history and the prospect of perhaps making more soap on its premises (it used to be a soap factory), guests would be forgiven for thinking they actually own the Saboaria. Or that, at least, it’s a family business. Given the reception’s middle of hotel location, it’s impossible to avoid so enjoy a quick chat about your stay or your day or ask for some local tips as to what and where to explore… Torel Saboaria
Part of the fabulous ‘Torel’ boutique chain, its newest edition is based in the centre of the Bolhão district (home to Portugal’s famous blue and white tiles). It used to be an old soap factory so expect the design to be inspired by this and to reflect its rich history. Compact and elegant but playful and joyous, Luffa, it’s bright and cheery restaurant, serves excellent breakfast and dinner and be sure to check out the Japanese rock garden exterior where guests will find a pool, a Jacuzzi and a spa.
