## About the hotel
InterContinental Porto Palacio das Cardosas occupies a building that began as a monastery in the early 15th century, until Portugal closed its monasteries in 1834 and the property was bought by Manuel Cardoso dos Santos, a businessman who made his fortune in Brazil. His widow and three daughters inherited the house, giving it its enduring local name, the Palacio das Cardosas, the house of the Cardosas sisters. The building was restored under architect Alex Kravetz and opened as a hotel in 2011, keeping its grand facade and marble lobby on Praca da Liberdade in the heart of Porto.
