Welcome to

The House of Sandeman

The city of Porto has always marched to the beat of its own drum. This alternative and independent spirit is something that is immediately felt when walking around its streets and when talking to the locals. In a city so rich in history and culture, we wanted to create something that properly celebrated that unique Porto essence.

The House of Sandeman Hostel & Suites, the world’s very first Branded Hostel, celebrates one of the greatest Port Wine brands in the world, right on the Douro, in one of Porto’s most iconic buildings, the wine cellars.

Sandeman

Since its early beginnings in 1790 Sandeman has always been a pioneering company, constantly looking to innovate and surprise. It was the first Port Wine brand, fire-branding its casks and establishing a reputation for quality. Its creative advertising is famous all over the world, mostly thanks to The Don, the mysterious character in hat and cape.

This spirit of innovation is still very much a part of Sandeman. One of the world’s most famous brands, it stays one step ahead of the crowd, looking for new ways to enhance your experience of the rich heritage of Port Wine and Sandeman.
