Lisbon is a very popular destination for any kind of travel.
Lisbon’s popularity for corporate travel particularly during the quieter winter months is exceeding anybodies expectations. We handle very large groups and the first idea for corporate group trips is always the larger high rise hotels that have a big capacity and great infra structures for corporate events.
However not all groups are the same and some take their team event, business meeting or training to Lisbon because they like the intimate atmosphere of the historical center and a hotel they choose should convey this atmosphere to the event and its participants to make a lasting impression. This is where the amazing, small boutique hotels of Lisbon mark their impressive stamp on corporate travel!
For groups above 60 – 80 pax this would not be an option but smaller can benefit largely from this option while still having their meeting, events and business requirements professionally met.
Corporate team events, conferences, meetings and other corporate gatherings are daily and many in Lisbon. The city of Lisbon has the perfect infra structures, accessibility, network and surroundings for such events.
We will be introducing you to some of the nicest luxury boutique hotels in the historical center of Lisbon. This article is specifically about hotels that have capacity for all types of smaller events and meetings. To receive quotes and availability for any of these hotels, please use the form at the bottom of this article.
Before finding your perfect boutique hotel Lisbon, Lets get to know the different areas of the center of Lisbon!
Lisbon’s historical center is made up off a couple of distinct areas, the lower center parts that together make up the Baixa (down town) The Chaido, Avenida de Liberdade and Praca do Commercio are the main areas full of shops, nightlife, bar and restaurants and some of the nicer hotels. Slightly higher up but within walking distance of the Baixa are the popular neighborhoods of Alfama close to the castle and Bairro Alto famous for its large offer of restaurants and nightlife. These are the areas covered in this article.
The Chiado / Baixa is one of the more luxurious areas completely rebuild after the 1755 earthquake taking away its original medieval labyrinth street plan to be replaced with a grid plan it is one off the areas that has a high amount of noble buildings and architectural beauty. It is also one of the areas where the more luxurious shops, restaurants and hotels are located.
Avenida de Liberdade is the main avenue of Lisbon. 90 meter wide and 1100 meters long it is modeled after the Champs-Élysées of Paris.
Decorated with impressive gardens and sculptures it is a favourite street for the jetset and avid shoppers to visit design shops, gourmet restaurants and luxury hotels.
Alfama set on the highest hill of Lisbon was the original town before it became the capital of Portugal. It is the most traditional area of Lisbon famous for Fado music, medieval streets and buildings and not to forget the Lisbon castle
Bairro Alto like Alfama, the Bairro Alto is one of the more traditional neighborhoods. In current times it’s famous and very popular as one of the main nightlife and going out areas of Lisbon.
