Loved by guests
"I recently stayed at this hotel and I have to say, I absolutely loved it! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning river view that greeted me."
"We stayed in the Vintage room on the 5th floor, overlooking the river, for 5 nights."
"Beautiful small 8 room hotel on the prime corner overlooking the Porto waterfront- not quiet- but great music playing in the square until about 10 - parking is a few blocks away but worth leaving your big suitcase and carrying in an overnight bag - best restaurant ever!"
Unique Riverfront Rooms
Gran Cruz House features seven air-conditioned rooms, each corresponding to an image of the Woman in Black from the Porto Cruz campaign 'The Country where Black is Colourful'. Each room includes a desk, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries, a hairdryer, and slippers. Rooms include free international calls and premium bedding, in addition to laptop-friendly workspaces. Some units have a balcony with city or river views. Every room is unique and unrepeatable.
Casario Restaurant
The hotel highlight is the Casario restaurant, which overlooks the historic port district of Vila Nova da Guia. The restaurant's name reflects its location in Porto. The restaurant includes a balcony overlooking the river, emerald green table tops, wood and wicker chairs, and red armchairs. It presents Portuguese cuisine and Port and Douro wines. The menu offers marinated sea bass and rice with cockles. An àlacarte breakfast, served between 8am and 11am, features local breads and pastries, fruit and yogurt, and ham and cheese, with pancakes and eggs cooked to order. The restaurant's cellar includes over 60 references of Port and Douro wines, Moscatel, Sparkling, Madeira, and Gin. Service is knowledgeable and friendly, especially in the restaurant.
Square Location, No Public Areas
Located in one of Porto's oldest squares, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gran Cruz House is best if you want to be among the action. The building's setting has remained similar since the end of the 16th century, with the facade unchanged since 1936. The architecture is high and narrow, so there are no public areas.

Room Features

“In my opinion, this is a boutique hotel distinguished by its intimate atmosphere and themed rooms deeply rooted in local culture. The fine-dining restaurant, with its extensive wine list, is a clear highlight, and many rooms boast direct views of the Douro River. Its location in an ancient square adds to the experience of cultural immersion.”
