Exmo. Hotel by Olivia highlighted as Best Urban Refuge in Hotlist 2025

13 de January, 2025

The Exmo. Hotel by Olivia was the winning hotel in the “Best Urban Refuge” category of the i-escape Hotlist 2025, which highlighted the best hotels and destinations to visit in the new year. This Olivia Singular Houses unit is the only Portuguese hotel in the category.

The Exmo. Hotel by Olivia, located in Ribeira do Porto, was named the best place to stay in a city destination. Completely restored and contemporary, while retaining its original centuries-old history, i-escape highlights its location, next to the River Douro, where you can walk to most of the city’s most emblematic sites. Also emphasized was the friendliness and availability of the team to ensure that you had the best possible experience in Porto.

“We are proud to see the Exmo. Hotel by Olivia recognized as the best urban refuge. This distinction is a testament to our investment and ongoing commitment to offering a unique and memorable experience and the dedication of our team to all our guests.” says Carlos De Freitas, General Manager of Olivia Singular Houses.

The online guide also emphasizes the interior with its quirky design and details and the sunlit, spacious and quiet rooms, a feature that is harder to find in a city hotel.

Voting by i-escape, the website and travel guide that has won awards in the UK in recent years from The Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller and Wanderlust, was taking place throughout December.
