COOLROOMS PALACIO DUARTE - Porto

Imagine stepping into an 18th-century Baroque marvel nestled in the heart of Porto. Once known as Palacio do Belmonte, the soon-to-be CoolRooms Palacio Duarte is undergoing a meticulous restoration to reclaim its former glory. Set between Porto’s storied parishes—Cedofeita, Miragaia, S. Nicolau, Sé, Santo Ildefonso, and Victória—this grand manor house boasts an iconic two-story façade, a striking mansard roof, and finely sculpted granite that whispers tales of a bygone era. Scheduled to open in Q3 2025, Palacio Duarte isn’t just a hotel—it’s a living, breathing testament to the elegance of the past, seamlessly infused with modern design and comfort.

Located in one of Lisbon’s most exclusive districts—neighboring the Goethe Institute and the German Embassy—this palace is set to welcome guests in Q4 2025. More than just a place to stay, Palacio do Patriarcado offers an immersive cultural experience, complete with a terrace restaurant, bar, dedicated event spaces, a swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
