Frida Kahlo
6th July, 1907 (Coyoacán, Mexico) – 13th July, 1954 (Coyoacán, México)
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.

About The Artist...
Alberto Giacometti Was A Swiss Sculptor, Painter, Draftsman, And Engraver, Famous For His Sculptures.
As a surrealist in the 1930s, he created truly innovative sculptural forms, which sometimes resembled toys and games. As an existentialist, after the war he led the way in creating a style that epitomized philosophy’s interests in perception, alienation, and anxiety. He is remembered for his figurative work, which helped make the suffering human figure motif a popular symbol of post-war trauma.
Some of his Main Works:
Tall Figure
Spoon Woman
The Palace at 4 AM
Artistic Movements: Expressionism, Contemporary Art, Surrealism, Cubism, Modern Art.
“It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.” – Alberto Giacometti
