Located directly on the Douro riverfront, at the base of the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, Vincci Ponte de Ferro offers one of the most distinctive settings in Porto. With panoramic views over the river, the historic Ribeira district and the city skyline, the hotel places guests at the heart of Porto’s most atmospheric landscape.
The building’s design embraces its surroundings. Contemporary architecture and refined interiors are carefully balanced with the industrial character of the bridge and the historic riverside environment. Large windows and open spaces allow natural light to shape the experience, ensuring the river and the city remain central throughout the stay.

The hotel’s riverside position makes it easy to explore Porto on foot.
