Maison Albar — Le Monumental Palace PORTO, PORTUGAL
Maison Albar — Le Monumental Palace is located in the heart of Porto, on the renowned Aliados Boulevard, adjacent to the City Hall. Surrounded by typical Portuguese streets, alleys, and squares, the hotel’s art de vivre ethos is an easy one to live by. Porto is a city rich in history, which is reflected
in the hotel’s design. Following a comprehensive refurbishment, the neo-gothic facade from the 1930s has been preserved when Café Monumental resided, celebrated across Europe as a gathering spot for society’s elite. Despite Maison Albar Hotels collection’s numerous modernizations, traces of that era linger within Le Monumental Palace. Since 2018, Le Monumental Palace has prided
itself on its high standards and expertise in all things luxury. Guests can expect excellent service, top class amenities and grandeur in every detail.
