Hotel in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
Vincci Ponte de Ferro

About Vincci Ponte de Ferro
Most of the Vincci hotels are in Spain, but one of the best is in Portugal, prominently positioned beside the Don Luís I Bridge that connects the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Vincci Ponte de Ferro is on the latter side, housed in a trio of old warehouses originally used to store wines produced in the region. But the restored interiors don’t look like any storage space you’ve ever seen — they’re sleek and industrial, with exposed granite walls, double-high ceilings, and huge wrought iron-framed windows. Style-wise, the hotel’s knockout features are the cool lobby bar and a rooftop terrace with striking views of the landmark bridge next door. But the rooms and suites are great-looking, too, with pale parquet floors, bold accent walls, and modern bathrooms lined in colorful tile. A wine bar pouring local reds is a nice touch that pays homage to the site’s history.
