Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel
Porto, Portugal

A hotel rooted in Porto’s heritage and riverside elegance

Broadway Malyan provided the interior design for Portugal’s first Renaissance Hotel, a 4-star development opened in 2023 with 163 rooms and suites, a conference space for 500 guests, and a rooftop featuring an infinity pool, restaurant, bar and terrace with views over Porto.

The hotel is located in Porto’s historic Lapa district, one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Rooted in the brand’s theatrical design concept, it is elegantly finished in pastel pinks and champagne, with unexpected accents of petrol blue that pay homage to the iconic Douro River.

The champagne colour scheme extends into the hotel’s 163 bedrooms and suites, where neutral tones are complemented by walnut wood, stylish design pieces and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural light.

Conceived as an ‘Art House in the Park’, the interior features vintage Portuguese tiles and original works by renowned artists, including Pedrita Studio, Isabel Mello, a bespoke piece by Clemens Behr, and two installations by Manuel Caldeira, among others.

Through carefully curated pieces, the design creates a strong sense of place, with art that reflects local culture and heritage, enabling guests to immerse themselves in the city’s fabric and gain a deeper appreciation of their surroundings.

“We wanted to create a true sense of location with an approach that captured the history, vibrancy and culture of the local immediate community, Lapa, and Porto itself, while also introducing that all-important surprise element with contrasts and juxtapositions that evoke an emotional response from the guests.”
