Hotels with History: Fontinha Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham from an old quarry to a 4-star hotel

In one of Porto’s most authentic and storied neighborhoods, a place once defined by stone and labor is now a hub of creativity and comfort. Rising from the grounds of a former quarry, the Fontinha Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, is a striking example of transformation, where past and present meet in perfect harmony.

Located between Rua da Fontinha and Rua de Santa Catarina, the Fontinha Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham is a 4-star retreat that testifies to Porto's past and unifies it with reinvention and modernity. Once an active stone quarry, this site has been reimagined as a modern haven that pays tribute to its industrial roots while embracing contemporary aesthetics.

The architectural concept reflects this dual identity. Across six floors and 49 rooms, guests are greeted by a refined industrial-chic style: wood textures, neutral tones, custom furniture, and curated artistic elements bring warmth and character to every corner. The ambiance is inviting, thoughtful, and intentionally bold, with inspiring messages like “Be Bold” written into the floors to spark a smile.

Developed by Mercan Properties and managed by AHM – Ace Hospitality Management, Fontinha Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham channels the vibrant energy of Porto. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, it offers the perfect blend of comfort, creativity, and local flair.

Common areas are full of personality—original art pieces and relaxed social zones make it easy to connect, unwind, or work in style. But the hotel’s true heartbeat is its restaurant.

The Fontinha Pizzeria has quickly become a must-visit culinary destination in the city. With a laid-back vibe and a menu inspired by traditional Italian recipes, the restaurant serves fresh, wood-fired pizzas made with quality local ingredients. It has become more than a place to eat and has transformed itself into a space to gather, laugh, and linger.

Fontinha Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham is a place where people and stories come together. It celebrates Porto’s industrial legacy while inviting guests to explore a new narrative—one of bold design, heartfelt hospitality, and an undeniable sense of place.
