History
The Boeira Garden Hotel is set within the three-hectare Quinta da Boeira, a historic wine estate in Vila Nova de Gaia across the Douro from Porto. Its centerpiece palace was built in 1850 by Manuel da Rocha Romariz, an emigrant who had returned from Brazil and that year registered himself as a port-wine exporter under the Boeira and Romariz brands. Sold off in parcels in 1966, the estate was rescued in 1999 by a group led by the priest João de Freitas Ferreira, who bought the property to save its century-old woods and 19th-century palace from real-estate development, opening Quinta da Boeira as a cultural venue.
Over the following two decades the estate added attractions — including a record-breaking giant wine bottle in 2014 — before the project culminated in the 2019 opening of the Boeira Garden Hotel, a five-star, art-and-culture-themed property whose interiors were shaped by an international design competition, with sculptures and paintings by artists from many countries throughout its spaces. Now part of Hilton's Curio Collection, the hotel offers around 124 rooms and suites set among the historic gardens, with the palace, port-wine cellars and an organic spa on site.
