Frida Kahlo

EXECUTIVE ROYAL - FRIDA KAHLO

{July 6, 1907 (Coyoacán, Mexico) – July 13, 1954 (Coyoacán, Mexico)}

 

In our boutique hotel, in the center of Porto, our Executive Royal Frida Kahlo is one of the rooms overlooking the Douro, possibly seen through its spacious balcony or the bathtub inside the room.

The first tribute to the artist is made through the four-poster double bed, whose design resembles the bed in which she spent much of her life, resulting from her health problems.

Dark blue colors predominate in the bedroom, representing the strength of character of the artist Frida Kahlo, and a tribute to the city of Porto.

The cactus and birds are important details that refer to her home country: Mexico.

The relationship with the artist Diego Rivera is also praised in our Torel Avantgarde. The rooms not only share
the same typology, but they are also strategically based: facing each other.

*One of the most requested room categories in the most artistic hotel in Porto.

36 m2;
Double bed;
Balcony overlooking the Douro;
Bathtub in the room overlooking the Douro;
