This accommodation is 2 min walk from three popular points of interest: São Bento Train Station, Luís I Bridge and Porto Cathedral.
São Bento Station is located in Praça de Almeida Garrett, and the Station building, with French influence, was designed by the Porto architect José Marques da Silva. It entered service, provisionally, on November 8, 1896, and was only officially inaugurated on October 5, 1916.
The Luís I Bridge or Luiz I, is a metal structure bridge with two decks, built between 1881 and 1888, connecting the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
Construction of the Cathedral began in the first half of the 12th century, and continued until the beginning of the 13th century. This first building, in Romanesque style, underwent many changes over the centuries. The general character of the facade with the towers and the beautiful rose window dates back to the Romanesque period, in addition to the body of the church with three naves covered by a barrel vault. The vault of the central nave is supported by flying buttresses, the Porto Cathedral being one of the first Portuguese buildings in which this architectural element was used.
