Holiday Inn Express Porto-Boavista Celebrates Two Years at the Heart of the City

Today, Holiday Inn Express Porto-Boavista celebrates its second anniversary, marking two years of welcoming business and leisure travelers to one of Porto’s main business, cultural, and entertainment districts.

Opened in 2024, this 3-star hotel is part of the IHG portfolio and offers 91 comfortable rooms, a restaurant, a café, and a bar lounge. Developed by Mercan Properties and managed by AHM – Ace Hospitality Management, the hotel contributed to hospitality and urban regeneration in Porto and the dynamism of the region.

Located on Rua 5 de Outubro, in the heart of Boavista, the hotel benefits from excellent transportation connections to the city center and northern Portugal. It is also just minutes from Porto Office Park, Casa da Música, Mercado do Bom Sucesso, City Park, and the beaches of Foz and Matosinhos.

Designed for business travelers, families, and visitors discovering Porto, Holiday Inn Express Porto-Boavista combines comfort and a convenient location for exploring the city or attending business meetings.

A Meeting Point for Guests and the Local Community

Holiday Inn Express Porto-Boavista was designed as more than a place to stay. It is also a welcoming meeting point where business partners, friends, families, and members of the local community can meet, work, relax, and socialize.

ROAST, the hotel’s restaurant and bar, plays an important role in this experience. Known for its rotisserie specialties, it offers a daily-changing selection of dishes, including meat and vegetarian options. Its warm and relaxed atmosphere makes it an inviting setting for a business lunch, an informal meeting, a quiet afternoon of work, or a meal before exploring the city.

Two years after opening its doors, Holiday Inn Express Porto-Boavista continues to contribute to the vitality of this important area of Porto. This anniversary belongs to everyone who has been part of the hotel’s journey.
