Nini Andrade e Silva
Miguel Nogueira

Porto, Portugal’s 2nd largest city, known as the origin of the invention and distribution of Port wine, is home to the fresh-faced Hotel Teatro. Reflecting the signature of its groundbreaking Portuguese designer, Nini Andrade Silva, Hotel Teatro is also a homage to the city’s cultural heritage in theatre and performance. Having been built on the site of the 1859 Teatro Baquet, in its time a cultural and social crux for the city that was eventually destroyed by fire in 1888, Silva acted faithfully and thoughtfully when prescribing the site’s new resident a theme. The Hotel Teatro not only nominally relates its premise but also reflects it in the entirety of its structure.

Upon entering the hotel, and even before, guests are immediately confronted by the hotel’s focus on dramaturgy. The doors that lead into the hotel are engraved with a poem by the great Portuguese poet, Almeida Garret. Once inside, the reception desks are quasi box offices at which guests pick up their room keys. Each of Hotel Teatro’s 74 guestrooms and suites are contemporary masterpieces in exuberant shades of bronze and gold, echoing the splendour of the stage. The hotel’s Restaurant Palco casts an array of exotic flavours into the ensemble, and the Bar Plateia pulls the entire production forward into a grand crescendo in a unique moment that recreates the atmosphere of a show. The movement is finally brought to its grand finale as guests arrive on the interior terrace, which pays tribute to the Hotel Teatro’s artistic nature in portraying the more refined and seductive pieces in theatre.
