The Largo
Porto, Portugal
Welcome to our home in Porto – The Largo. Nestled in the historical Largo de São Domingos, the 18-room hotel, restaurant, and bar are spread among five beautifully interconnected buildings dating back to the 15th, 16th, and early 20th centuries. Since opening its doors, The Largo has been dedicated to crafting meaningful experiences connected to the city and its vibrant culture.
Designed by the visionary architect Frederico Valsassina and featuring stunning interiors by Space Copenhagen, the renovation of The Largo beautifully preserves centuries of rich history, craftsmanship, and tradition woven into the building’s architecture. Nestled beside The Largo are its sister projects, Cozinha das Flores and Flôr, a restaurant and a bar led by the talented chef Nuno Mendes, offering an unparalleled dining and bar experience.
The story
The Largo Hotel was founded by two long-time friends and business partners, Per and Steen. Both come from the retail and jewelry industry, bringing their refined taste and entrepreneurial spirit to the hospitality world. This dream became a reality with The Largo, a place where every guest feels like part of a close-knit family.
Your stay
When you step into The Largo, you’re greeted by a serenely inviting atmosphere. With 18 spacious suites and rooms, the interior design beautifully matches nostalgia with modernity. Materials like stone, wood, brass, and soft fabrics create a warm, intimate, and natural environment. The design philosophy emphasizes on connection between guests and the local community, while offering private havens for rest and reflection.
