Dom Henrique Hotel![]() ![]() ![]() The building of Hotel Dom Henrique was originally a bold project of 2 famous architects from Porto, Arq. Pádua Ramos and Arq. Carlos Loureiro, who had planned the construction of an office building, which would be the first high-raise building in the city made with concrete.
Only after being already built it was turned into a Hotel, after the proprietary, Mr. Afonso Pinto de Magalhães, came to the conclusion that the city needed a good 4 star Hotel, being inaugurated in 1973.
Due to its architectonic characteristics, is an important landmark in the City, on the edge of being classified as Architectural Patrimony, and is used as "case study" at the faculty of architecture of Porto University.
During these over thirty eight years the hotel, with its 112 rooms, the Restaurant Além-Mar, a Panoramic Bar on the 17th floor and multi-purpose rooms for meetings and other events – highlighting the views from Room Navegador, on the 18th floor - was at all times property of the same family and has been submitted to several improvements, from a major renovation that forced to its closure for a year, to other fased interventions, allowing its services to continue functioning with the usual high quality standards.
After these extensive renovations several refurbishments and equipment updates, such as the new Air-conditioning system and the total rehabilitation of the facade, have been and
will continue to be undertaken.
