Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across the river from the UNESCO World Heritage city centre, Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia is a new 5-star hotel steeped in a unique heritage. The hotel is part of a vibrant district brimming with museums, restaurants, shops, and a wine school. Iconic sights like Luiz I Bridge and Serra do Pilar are within walking distance. What had been for centuries home to port cellars and warehouses is now a burgeoning wine and dining district and this hotel is at the very centre of it all.

Here, you’ll have privileged access to Kopke’s oldest secrets: the recently restored original Port wine cellars, set the stage for genuinely distinctive wine-tasting experiences. You may spend your days, leisurely exploring the river front promenade’s restaurants and bars or cross to Porto’s Ribeira across the famed Luiz I Bridge, an architectural masterpiece designed in the 1880s by Théophile Seyrig, a disciple of Gustave Eiffel.

Returning to the hotel, a classic country estate inspired by Kopke’s rich history, simple yet exquisite pleasures await. The modern gastronomy of Iberia is proudly presented with passion by a Michelin-starred Chef. And Portugal’s finest wines, including their very own vintage ports, can be sampled at any of the five restaurants and bars.

Restorative wellness facilities include the sanctuary spa, a gym, a hammam, a sauna room and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Each moment of your stay is imbued with elegance by a dedicated service that has been refined over nearly a century.
