I brought a group of people from the UK to celebrate my 50th birthday at the Yeatman. It was a fantastic success. From start to finish the hotel staff were professional, helpful and courteous in equal measure. Nothing was too much trouble. It is an amazing hotel: unparalelled views - from every single room - over the twin cities of... More

This hotel is less than 3 years old, and is clearly custom built to take advantage of its wonderful outlook over Porto. The rooms are spectacular, each with its own view over the Douro, and with luxurious furnishings and facilities. The hotel facilities are also superb. I didn't actually need access to the croquet court, but it was nice to... More

Spectacular views of Porto from every room. Great restaurant, hotel bar, amenities, wine cellar/selection, art collection, gym, and the rooms are nice and large. Great place to stay, I hope to be back again soon. My only complaint is the service was consistently slow. Restaurant, front desk, and spa were all slower than what I accustomed to at a hotel...

I bought this trip as a Christmas present for my husband as he had had a very bad year with one thing and another and I was really quite nervous that it should be just right. I needn't have worried!
