The One Monumental Palace: Art Deco Glamour on Porto's Avenida dos Aliados

The One Monumental Palace occupies a restored Art Deco landmark on the grand Avenida dos Aliados, the ceremonial boulevard at the heart of Porto. Its 1920s glamour, all marble and geometric flourish, has been paired with contemporary design to create one of the city's most stylish hotels, steps from the historic center and the Douro.

The dining is a highlight. Le Monument holds a Michelin star, where chef Julien Montbabut fuses French haute cuisine with Portuguese traditions and indigenous ingredients; Yakuza brings acclaimed chef Olivier da Costa's modern Japanese cuisine; and the American Bar channels twenties glamour for cocktails.

For a design-led, gastronomic Porto stay, The One Monumental Palace is a standout.
