Set to open on 1 March, the city’s first hybrid venue features 271 contemporary hotel rooms, 39 residential apartments and a stunning rooftop pool & cocktail bar.
This new €60M, 11,200sq m multi-purpose four-star hub is designed to connect travellers, digital nomads, young professionals and locals in a dynamic community. The launch also brings 30 new jobs to the city. The Social Hub Porto, which opens this Saturday, is located in Bonjardim, the heart of the city’s vibrant cultural scene. The Porto launch increases The Social Hub’s portfolio to 20 across 18 European cities – with Lisbon also on the horizon.
Marion Koopman, The Social Hub’s Chief Operations & Commercial Officer stated, “This remarkable hub has a very special meaning for us as it represents our arrival to the dynamic Portuguese market. Porto is the perfect place to embark on this journey, having worked closely with key city government players over the past four years. They – from the very beginning – stressed the importance of sustainable development and embraced the value that our unique community-centric model can bring to the community. Thanks to a remarkable team of local architects, designers and more, we are now proud to open the doors of a spectacular new hub full of innovative spaces and an even more inspiring community focused on making a difference in the city and beyond.”
Amenities include a state-of-the-art gym, over 580sq m of inspiring co-working space for nearly 100 local professionals and 450sq m of premium meeting & event spaces – including an auditorium that can accommodate more than 250 guests – creating a dynamic environment for networking, innovation and entrepreneurship. A large interior courtyard garden open to all also brings a new green space to the city centre.
