I checked
into the five-star
Hotel Infante Sagres.
It’s centrally located in the city center, within walking distance of Santa Catarina (Porto’s Rodeo Drive). The hotel is
charming. The
lobby is opulent, filled with antiques. The staff is friendly, the
rooms are large (with satellite TV), and the
bathrooms are enormous (though the rooms on the fifth floor might not have good water pressure). The
view from my bathroom made me sit longer, and the
breakfast buffet was
excellent. Wireless internet is available in the lobby for €5 ($6.27) an hour, or €20 ($25) a day. Rates, beginning at €98 ($123) for a single, can be found on the internet (use
Johnny Jet’s search engines to search for the lowest price).
