House of Sandeman

Porto, Portugal

Since its founding in 1790, the port and sherry maker Sandeman has prided itself on tradition, and its new hostel—on top of the company’s historic wine cellars—allows visitors to discover over two centuries’ worth of history and port­making. Guests can tour the cellars, stay in private suites overlooking idyllic Porto or room with up to 14 others in spacious dorms for as little as $18 per night—­albeit in king-size bed frames inspired by the port-wine barrels. Those features have paid off: Hostelworld named House of Sandeman the best new small hostel of 2019. —Suyin Haynes
