Take a trip to the glamour of 1940s Portugal at The Altis Avenida Hotel on the Praça des Restauradores, in the historic heart of Lisbon. Built by the acclaimed architect Cristino Silva and restored in 2011, it has remained true to its Portuguese modernist roots. Marvel at the wonderful façade and staircase and be immersed in the retro-chic design. Dine on the terrace at the restaurant and unwind in your stylish room overlooking the city and the Saint George castle, some of the best views in Lisbon. You will be minutes away from the waterfront and among the boutique-lined boulevards of 19th-century Lisbon.
With its stunning location, and gracious service, the Altis Avenida is a perfect sanctuary for both business and leisure travelers. Dine on gourmet cuisine in the blue-and-white Azulejo-tiled restaurant, and admire the chic back, white and gold interiors throughout the hotel.
The 118 guestrooms and suites are spread out over six floors, and each has a hint of Art Deco, in keeping with hotel’s past, and different color schemes. Check into a moody Classic Room facing the peaceful internal courtyard. Make a coffee on the Nespresso machine as you check emails at the cozy workstation, or lie back on the beautifully soft double beds with their Egyptian cotton sheets, and soft leather headboards; a blackout blind ensures a restful sleep. Deluxe guestrooms have a balcony with views of downtown Lisbon. In the suites, you can choose between two bathrooms and all the rooms have terrific views of Avenida da Liberdade.
Let the staff take care of you with 24-hour room service, laundry, dry cleaning, and shoe-cleaning services, and daily housekeeping. The hotel extends a warm welcome to families, including the furry, four-legged members.
On the top floor of the hotel, the Rossio Gastrobar has amazing views of Lisbon, and is rapidly becoming one of the city’s favorite restaurants. Dine here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Use the sumptuous facilities at GSpa by Altis Grand Hotel, including indoor heated pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish bath, fitness room, Technogym equipment, and five treatment rooms. Also try BSpa by Karin Herzog at sister hotel Altis Bélem Hotel, where the Thermo Garden has two pools, a hammam, sauna, and massage treatments.
Step outside the front door to enjoy Lisbon’s cultural treats, such as the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, where great explorer Vasco da Gama is buried. Catch a show at the National Theater in Rossio Square, and have a coffee and a cake in Café Nicola, famous for its Art Deco façade. Stroll around the Baixa district for some serious shopping, and stop in one of the many bars and cafés for some refreshment.
The Altis Avenida Hotel is in the Baixa district of central Lisbon, close to Rossio and Restauradores Squares, and Avenida da Liberdade.

Stayed for a week with a family of five. Visit started with a receptionist named Julia spending literally 45 minutes walking me from room to room to show me the rooms and the views to help decide which one I preferred, not even at my request, she just did that on her own. And the tone was set from there. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful, the location is perfect, the breakfast Buffett and rooftop bar are on the same space with lovely views and good food. I learned from an ex hotel employee who now runs cooking classes that we took that the manager is very strict and runs a very tight shop and it shows. They need to change their mattresses as the mattresses are very firm and uncomfortable, but everything else about this place is wonderful and was so good I ignored the bedding. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely fantastic hotel in every sense. Beautiful facilities, very comfortable rooms, epic view rooftop restaurant, but most of all, incredibly kind and customer centric staff. They took care of us unlike any other hotel in a very long time, anticipating our needs and ensuring out stay is memorable and comfortable. And the location! In the heart of old Lisbon, with walking distance to all attractions and sights. Every recommendation. This is what I consider a 5-star experience!
