First Look: Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection, Portugal

High-end design meets gastronomy at the 119-key Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection in Vila Nova de Gaia, a city renowned for its world-famous Port lodges and sweeping views of the River Douro. Everything here revolves around wine, from the property's curved design to reflect rolling vineyards and use of wood and cork, to the sommelier-led wine tastings and masterclasses held in the hotel's two wine rooms. With its cosy terrace setting, restaurant Dona Maria serves traditional northern Portuguese cuisine. There's also a bar, a gym and an outdoor pool.
