You could spend days simply sitting and watching the old Rabelo cargo boats sail past the floor to ceiling warehouse windows of The Rebello. Once used to transport Port along the River Douro- nowadays they carry visitors along the banks of this beautiful city. And today- past this boutique hotel. Transformed from warehouses into a chic base for city breaks- its heritage is woven into the fabric of every space and suite. A monochrome palette- high ceilings and original furnishings bring the industrial era into the modern age. And for those travelling with children and pets- every detail is taken care of- from mini robes for little ones to dog treats and bowls for the four legged members of the family. The dedicated Little Rebels Kids Club is filled with fun for toddlers right up to teens- with its very own cinema. Meanwhile- grownups will love the serene spa- where snowy white loungers are set beside the warm indoor pool. Or head up to the Rooftop Restaurant and Bar for pizzas by day and drinks served under glittering festoon lights at night- all served with a side of panoramic city views. For an alternative to an alfresco dinner- take a seat at the Restaurant where contemporary menus are inspired by Portuguese cuisine. Downstairs- the Lobby Bar is open from daytime to dusk for snacks and drinks. And the Cafe and Store is perfect for picking up coffee and lunch to go- with its gourmet supermarket and art space. The Rebello is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
