Fontinha Hotel: a rehabilitated building that gave a new life to Porto

Launched in 2022, the simplicity and sophistication of Fontinha Porto Hotel, a Trademark Collection by Wyndham, gave a new life to Rua da Fontinha.

When it comes to choosing a hotel stay, whether it’s in the city center or away from the city's rush, so many options come to mind. That’s why the Fontinha Porto Hotel is the perfect choice for those who wish for tranquility, within the heart of the city.

This trendy 4-star hotel, the new (and first!) Trademark Collection by Wyndham in Portugal, joins comfort and style in a bold and modernized environment. Located in one of the oldest European City Centers, the hotel transpires stylish elements, inspired by historical and art-craft designs. Fontinha is one of Mercan’s projects in the historical center of Porto, the result of the rehabilitation of an old building into a welcoming and distinguished atmosphere, with 49 rooms, a restaurant, a courtyard, and an emblematic interior garden.

The Fontinha Porto Hotel decor and ambiance follow an industrial-chic line, with its original artwork and inspired floor inscriptions. In addition to this welcoming atmosphere, and one of its greatest attractions, the hotel’s garden allows guests to “disconnect” in a cozy and relaxed environment while enjoying a gastronomic experience. The room's decoration combines neutral tones with botanical patterns and textured-wooden wall elements, to make its guests ... 

… Naturally, feeling at home!

So natural that even your best friend is allowed! To those who travel with a pet, the Fontinha Hotel is pet-friendly, offering bowls, a toy, and a comfortable bed. In addition, at a time when most companies are opting for remote work, Fontinha's Hotel combines the perfect "workcation" mood, to escape the traditional routine and enjoy the casual works-tasks in a different scenario.

The Mercan Properties' motto on rehabilitating old buildings, moves towards preserving and recognizing its historical and cultural memory. Therefore, within Fontinha’s decoration, several elements are referring to Portugal’s culture. Sophisticated details such as the traditional Portuguese pavement indicating the room numbers, tableware, and national textiles from Portuguese brands, as well as an interactive installation that lights up the passageway to the garden.

Mixing a relaxed city style, Fontinha Hotel works on a luxury game of glass and mirrors, to reflect a lighter and welcoming atmosphere, underlined by warm colors and interesting art pieces, sharing a positive message and a good mood in one of the most popular cities of the world: Porto. 

The Hotel stands out for its location, in one of the most important areas of downtown Porto, where Rua da Fontinha meets Rua de Santa Catarina, thus conveying in the best way the importance that the city has for Mercan Properties. In that scenario, the launch of Fontinha Porto, Trademark Collection by Wyndham reflects the confidence and potential impact of Mercan Properties in Portugal's tourism sector.
