In the center of Porto, our Torel Avantgarde distinguishes this collector in one of our suites. In our award-winning boutique hotel in Porto, the Peggy Guggenheim Suite is opposite the Executive Deluxe Max Ernst Hotel Room, as a symbol of their love and togetherness.
Its wealth is portrayed through the glamorous velvet headboard, while the white walls are an analogy to the museums.
Peggy’s portrait, made by Jorge Curval, represents her passion for painting.
