Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend The One Monumental Palace to travellers seeking a historic palace in the heart of Porto, without the rigid label of large chains. It is an address for couples on a luxury weekend, business travellers wanting character, lovers of Beaux-Arts architecture and Portuguese design. Families find their place here (family rooms, indoor pool), yet the clientele remains predominantly adult, between 35 and 65 years old.
