The Porto A.S. 1829 Hotel<\/a>, located in the historic center of Porto, is a themed boutique hotel that revitalized a building of great architectural and heritage value.<\/p>

The building originally housed the \u201cArmaz\u00e9m de Papel ao Murinho de S. Domingos\u201d, which later became one of the most renowned stationery shops in Portugal \u2013 Ara\u00fajo & Sobrinho. Today, it is one of the oldest stationery shops in Europe and has remained in the same family for five generations.<\/p>

The store began selling paper and fine goods imported from England to serve the many English merchants living in Porto in the 19th century due to the Port wine trade.<\/p>

What started as a small neighborhood stationery shop eventually grew into a thriving business occupying the entire building. Today, the stationery shop still operates on the ground floor next to the hotel reception, and its history and collection are displayed throughout the building.<\/p>

Almost 200 years of history waiting to be discovered in the heart of Porto.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
