from the end of the 18th century which was, at first, intended to
become the Monastery of Lios. Years later, it was bought by Manuel
Cardoso dos Santos a wealthy member of Portos bourgeoisie who
transformed it into his residence. The palace was then inherited by
his three daughters, hence becoming known amongst the locals as The
Cardosas Palace.Nowadays, the InterContinental Porto Palacio das
Cardosas is a project developed by the prestigious interior
designer Alex Kravetz and, due to its undeniable sense of heritage
