A Morning Club voucher as a gift
For the person who's done all the restaurants: the gift of a perfect morning.
A breakfast is not the obvious gift. But it is one of the few that nobody puts in a drawer or exchanges for something else. The person books, turns up, sits at a set table and takes the morning with them. It works like giving a dinner out, only without the weight of the evening: lighter, easier to fit in. That is why it shows up so often as a Christmas, Valentine's or Mother's Day present. This article explains how the breakfast voucher works, what it costs and when (and when not) it is worth giving. To actually buy one, the page is gift a breakfast or gifts.
What the breakfast voucher is
It is an amount in euros, bought once, which the person exchanges for breakfast at one of the partner hotels. It is not a closed booking, with a hotel and date fixed by you. It is the opposite: you choose the amount, the person chooses everything else. That takes away the pressure of picking the right hotel, or the right day, or even knowing whether the person will be in town that week.
Unlike a generic gift card, this voucher is only good for breakfasts at the partner hotels. The person knows exactly what they are getting, no surprises, and there is no risk of the amount being spent on something else.
How it works (3 steps)
- You choose the voucher amount, according to what you want to give: one person, a couple, the whole family.
- You buy the voucher at gift a breakfast and hand it to the recipient.
- The person chooses the hotel and the date, within 12 months, and books while signed in, like any other booking, as explained at how it works.
No message threads to agree on times, no phone confirmation. It works like booking a restaurant table, but for the morning.
How much it costs
A breakfast costs, in general, between 15 and 38 euros per person, depending on the hotel. The voucher does not force you to hit the exact price of a specific hotel: you choose how much to give and the person sorts out the rest when booking.
| For whom | Suggested amount |
|---|---|
| One person | 15 to 38 euros |
| Couple (two people) | 30 to 76 euros |
| Family (four people) | 60 to 152 euros |
Who chooses the hotel
The voucher recipient chooses the hotel when booking, among the active partners. Today that includes:
- InterContinental Porto, Palácio das Cardosas, in the centre, next to the Aliados.
- Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory, in Boavista.
- The One Monumental Palace, on Avenida dos Aliados.
- Wine & Books Porto Hotel, on the Aliados.
- The Editory Artist Baixa Porto Hotel, in the Baixa.
- The Editory Boulevard Aliados Hotel, on the Aliados.
- Casa Falcão by Aspasios, in the Baixa, 4 stars.
- ArtCore Hotel Porto, in Bonfim, 4 stars.
- Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection, Hilton Porto Gaia and Vinha Boutique Hotel, in Vila Nova de Gaia, with a view of the Douro, as we tell in the guide to breakfast with a Douro view.
We do not hide preferences: if the person likes a view, the three Gaia hotels have a confirmed view of the Douro. If they would rather be right in the city centre, the hotels on the Aliados and in the Baixa cover that area. To better understand what to expect from each kind of hotel, the complete guide to hotel breakfast helps you decide.
Where it works today
It operates today in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, Lisbon, Cascais, the Algarve and Póvoa de Varzim. The voucher works at any destination, so it also suits someone who lives in Lisbon or spends more time there than in Porto.
When it is worth giving (and when it is not)
It is worth it on the right dates: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, a birthday. It is also worth it when you do not quite know what to give someone and want something that gets used, not kept in a drawer.
For a couple, it is even more direct. There is no need to book a room or stay at the hotel: just book the table and turn up, as breakfast without staying at the hotel explains. It is a morning just for the two of them, without the commitment (or the cost) of a whole night.
It is not worth it if the person already stays at hotels often and breakfast usually comes with the stay. Nor is it worth it if you need to guarantee an exact day, such as Christmas morning: the recipient chooses the date, within the 12 months, not you. If the day really matters, agree it with the person before buying.
And if it is for someone in Lisbon, the voucher works there too. This comparison of Porto and Lisbon for hotel breakfast helps you see the difference between the two cities and their hotels.
