# Armazém Luxury Housing in Porto – Design Hotel in a former iron warehouse

> Armazém Luxury Housing is a boutique design hotel in Porto's UNESCO-listed historic centre, housed in a converted 19th-century iron warehouse on Rua das Flores with an industrial-chic interior of exposed concrete, steel, and pine wood.

## Destination
Largo de São Domingos 74, on the pedestrian Rua das Flores in the historic heart of Porto, Portugal.

## Why visit
A thoughtfully renovated boutique hotel that preserves the industrial character of the original ironmonger warehouse through exposed concrete, steel staircases, and vintage furnishings, offering comfortable rooms and a central location steps from Porto's main sights.

## What to see
- **Rua das Flores** — Pedestrian street lined with bars, cafes, and restaurants right outside the hotel.
- **Ribeira District** — Porto's historic riverside quarter, a few minutes' walk away.
- **Torre Clérigos** — Iconic bell tower within easy walking distance; occasionally hosts public viewings for major events.

## What to do
- **Port wine tasting in the lounge** — The hotel lounge offers a sidebar with select port wines for guests.
- **Rooftop terrace** — A small roof deck above the hotel for taking the air, though with limited views.
- **Explore the industrial interior** — The striking steel staircase, iron chandeliers, and rough stone walls reflect the building's 19th-century ironware history.

## Good to know
Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel; rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with electric kettles. Reception is staffed 24 hours and staff often left small evening treats such as pastel de nata for guests. Interior design by architect Luís Sobral (studio Pedra Líquida); furnishings chosen by owner Fernanda Gramaxo, including vintage pieces from Turkey and India.
