HOTEL INFANTE SAGRES

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). Hotel Infante Sagres, Praça D. Filipa de Lencastre, 62, Porto; tel.: 351-22-3398500. Posted by Picasa
