Rooms & Decor

Descobertas Boutique Hotel By Aspasios offers 18 rooms inspired by Portugal's Age of Discoveries, with each floor themed after former colonies like Brazil, India, and Macau. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, minibar, safety deposit box, and private bathroom with free toiletries. Some rooms feature sofa beds, and guests can request anti-allergenic or anatomical pillows. Windows open with a dumper effect for ventilation.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is served daily from 07:30 to 10:30 at the Mezzanine Bar (Floor M) and is included in the stay. The hotel does not have an onsite restaurant, but Fonte Taurina Street and Ribeira's riverside are lined with cafés and bars like Praça do Cubo, known for its terraces and Douro River views.

Location & Transport

The hotel is on Rua Fonte Taurina, one of Ribeira's oldest streets, with the Postigo de Carvão alley and medieval river port nearby. It's 550 meters from São Bento Train Station, 800 meters from Aliados Avenue, and 20 km from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport. A roadblock restricts vehicle access to the street between 6:30-11:00 and 17:30-20:00.

Services & Amenities

Guests have access to free Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, and luggage storage. The front desk provides shoe-shining machines, laundry service (09:00-17:00, except Sundays), and babysitting. A business center with a computer and printer is available at the Mezzanine Bar. Safety features include smoke detectors and first-aid kits.

Nearby Attractions

The hotel is steps from Ribeira's Douro Riverfront, Palácio da Bolsa, and São Francisco Church. Clérigos Tower, Porto Cathedral, and Cais da Ribeira are within 0.5 km. Casa da Música is a cultural highlight, while Vila Nova de Gaia's wine cellars are a short trip across the river.

“Descobertas Boutique Hotel By Aspasios places you squarely in Porto's vibrant Ribeira district; the hotel's décor subtly nods to Portugal's age of exploration, adding a layer of local character. The staff shines with their insider knowledge, ready to point you towards authentic experiences and navigate the city with ease; even with its central location, the hotel maintains a quiet, welcome atmosphere. This is a solid choice for those eager to dive into Porto's cultural heart.”
