5 Stars, 5 Years: Casa da Companhia, Vignette Collection by IHG, Celebrates Five Years of Luxury Hospitality in Porto

Five years after opening its doors, Casa da Companhia, Vignette Collection by IHG continues to stand as one of Porto's most distinguished luxury destinations. As Mercan's first hotel in operation, this milestone represents the anniversary of a remarkable boutique hotel, and the beginning of a hospitality journey that continues to shape the group's growing portfolio in Portugal.

Located on the iconic Rua das Flores, in the heart of Porto's historic center, the five-star boutique hotel occupies the former headquarters of Real Companhia Velha, one of Portugal's oldest wine companies. Carefully restored to preserve its historical character while offering contemporary comfort, Casa da Companhia delivers an experience where heritage, elegance, and authentic Portuguese hospitality come together.

Over the years, the hotel has earned recognition on both national and international stages. In 2026, it was nominated at the World Travel Awards in two prestigious categories: Portugal's Leading Boutique Hotel 2026 and Portugal's Leading Luxury Hotel 2026, further reinforcing its reputation for excellence.

The hotel's commitment to exceptional guest experiences is equally reflected in the consistently outstanding reviews received across major travel platforms, including 9.5 on Booking.com, 9.6 on Expedia, 4.5 on TripAdvisor, and 4.8 on Google. Guests frequently highlight the hotel's privileged location, elegant accommodations, attentive service, and memorable hospitality, making Casa da Companhia one of Porto's most highly regarded luxury hotels.

This anniversary also marks another exciting chapter for the property with the introduction of Legado da Casa, the hotel's new signature restaurant. Combining refined gastronomy with the richness of Portuguese flavors, the restaurant offers an elevated dining experience that complements the hotel's distinctive identity and creates new moments to remember for both guests and visitors.

As Casa da Companhia celebrates its fifth anniversary, it also celebrates five years of preserving history, creating memorable guest experiences, and contributing to the evolution of Mercan's hospitality portfolio. With a strong legacy already established and new chapters still to be written, the hotel remains a symbol of the quality, authenticity, and excellence that define Mercan's vision for hospitality in Portugal.
