A BRASILEIRA CELEBRATES 115 YEARS OF HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hotel launches on caf\u00e9\u2019s anniversary<\/u><\/p>\n

The iconic A Brasileira caf\u00e9 opened its doors on 4 May 1903, and to mark its 115th anniversary, the opening ceremony of the Pestana Porto – A Brasileira City Center & Heritage Building was held, bringing together not only the centennial caf\u00e9, but a 5-star hotel and a restaurant serving signature cuisine.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by Rui Moreira, Mayor of Porto; Ant\u00f3nio Oliveira, project promoter and investor; and Dion\u00edsio Pestana, President of the Pestana Hotel Group, among other guests.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Pestana Porto – A Brasileira City Center & Heritage Building is a result of a management partnership between businessman Ant\u00f3nio Oliveira\u2019s company \u201cOPPA – A BRASILEIRA, LDA\u201d and Dion\u00edsio Pestana\u2019s Group, integrating the distribution channels of the largest international Portuguese hotel chain.<\/p>\n

At the opening ceremony, Ant\u00f3nio de Oliveira, President of OPPA SA, stressed that, \u201cA Brasileira, for me, is much more than a business project, much more than a business opportunity, much more than a professional experience. A Brasileira is, for me, above all, a re-encounter with my own memory, a re-encounter with Porto\u2019s soul, a re-encounter with a world of emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very honoured by this partnership with Dr Ant\u00f3nio Oliveira. I am sure that this is and will be a winning investment on what is an important destination for the Pestana Hotel Group. We have always believed in Porto\u2019s success, energy and dynamism, where we have been present for more than 20 years, and in that regard, I would like to highlight the work in revitalising and promoting the city\u2019s tourism, which we hope will continue to be developed,” says the Pestana Hotel Group\u2019s President, Dion\u00edsio Pestana.<\/p>\n

Pestana Porto – A Brasileira City Center & Heritage Building is the fruit of the restoration of the centennial building located on Rua S\u00e1 da Bandeira. In addition to the caf\u00e9 and the restaurant managed by chef Rui Martins, the hotel has 90 rooms and suites spread across six thematic floors, related to spices imported in the 15th and 16th centuries during the Portuguese maritime expansion, namely: Coffee, Tea, Cocoa, Pepper, Cinnamon and Anise. There is also a gym, meeting rooms and a French courtyard with a vertical garden.<\/p>\n

The characteristics of the nineteenth century facade and the image of the ground floor rooms – caf\u00e9 and restaurant – were preserved with its original design in a project developed by the APPEL Office\u2019s architectural team, led by architect Ginestal Machado, resulting from the restoration of the work by architect Janu\u00e1rio Godinho. The interior design was entrusted to Jaime Morais.<\/p>\n

This is the 7th property within the Pestana Collection Hotels brand, joining the recent Pestana Amsterdam Riverside Hotel & National Monument, the future Pestana Plaza Mayor and the properties located in Portugal: Pestana Palace Lisboa Hotel & National Monument, Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel & World Heritage Site, Pestana Cidadela Cascais Pousada & Art District, and Pestana Pal\u00e1cio do Freixo Pousada & National Monument.<\/p>\n
