2. Lisbon
The 18th century Aqueduct, the beautiful Monsanto Natural Park and Gulbenkian Museum are three magnets for tourists visiting Portugal’s capital city, but there are so many others; it’s Fado singers, Belem Tower on the River Tagus and the Jeronimos monastery nearby, while no visit is complete without a taste of their custard tarts, known as Pastel de nata.
Corinthia Hotel Lisbon offers a tranquil respite from downtown. Just a few stops away from the hustle and bustle and just 7km from the airport, it has over 500 rooms including 20+ executive suites, al fresco eating at the Terrace Restaurant and a fusion of Portuguese and contemporary Mediterranean fare at Sete Colinas and Tipico restaurants. There is an Executive Lounge and a Conference Centre offering capacity for up to 1,400 delegates and an extensive and luxurious Spa and Wellness Club* spread over 3,500 square metres for when business is finished.
*Voted Portugal’s Best Hotel Spa at the 3rd annual World Spa Awards in December 2017.
