Currently under development, the new Tivoli Kopke will set a new standard for luxury hospitality in the northern region of Portugal, combining Tivoli’s heritage of timeless travel with the unique history and legacy of Kopke, the oldest Port Wine House in the world, established in 1638.
Perfect for business and leisure travellers alike, the hotel will feature 150 guest rooms including 10 suites, two restaurants, three bars, two swimming pools, a Tivoli Shape fitness centre, fully equipped events facilities with six meeting rooms, and 9,000 sqm of exterior gardens to welcome special gatherings and celebrations.
The property will also be home to a unique Tivoli Spa, where bespoke therapies will be aligned with the destination and inspired by its natural elements.
Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia Hotel is located on the hillside of Gaia in an ancient Port Wine cellar that will be part of the hotel experience. With views over Porto city and its traditional Cais da Ribeira and the emblematic Luís I Bridge, the hotel is walking distance from main local attractions with direct access to the lively and beautiful Gaia river front area, with its restaurants, bars and shops. The city of Porto is just a few minutes’ walk, Devesas train station is close by, and Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a 30-minute drive.
The current hotel construction is being carefully curated to pay tribute to the history of Kopke, a brand that is older than Douro’s demarcated region and a leader in the production of tawny and white port. The unique Kopke Port Wine cellar adjoining the hotel will be one of the most exclusive attractions, allowing guests to enjoy an immersive experience in the world of the most recognised fortified wine – port.
Unique gastronomic experiences at the hotel will include a fine-dining restaurant lead by a renowned chef who will bring a new soon-to-be-revealed concept.
For a more relaxed experience there will be an all-day-dining restaurant along with a wine bar and a rooftop bar overlooking the Douro River with its typical Rabelo boats, and Porto city.
''We are delighted to announce this exciting upcoming addition to the Tivoli portfolio in the Porto region with a truly special partnership with Kopke. With a beautiful and privileged location, this property will offer exceptional facilities to both business and leisure guests, connecting them with the world of port wine in a very exclusive way. We are honoured to be working with the team at Kopke to bring this property to fruition'' Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO Minor International and CEO Minor Hotels, parent company of Tivoli Hotels & Resorts.
''We’re very proud to present our first hotel in partnership with Tivoli brand. This collaboration reflects our ambitions for the property and we believe that the partnership with Minor Hotels will be able to create a new world-class hotel that celebrates luxury and wine in a stunning location surrounded by unique world heritage, and paying homage to centuries of history'' Pedro Braga, CEO Sogevinus, parent company of Kopke.
With a journey that dates back to 1933 in Lisbon, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts is well-known for its cultural heritage and genuine connection to each destination. The brand expanded from Portugal to Brazil, Qatar and China, and recently has been growing its footprint further into Europe with the first openings in Spain, Italy and Netherlands. Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia will be its ninth property in Portugal.
