THE HOTEL
In 2019, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) commended the Portuguese government for making tourism a priority with a 8.1% growth in 2019 and contributing USD $45.5BN to the nation’s economy. This meant that €1 in every €5 came from tourism in Portugal. This level of growth is the highest of any country Europe. Of course, coronavirus changed everything. The astonishing growth, however, resulted in the expansion of new neighborhoods in Lisbon that allowed new hotels and restaurants to flourish. Nestled in one of Lisbon’s new and growing areas is a luxury apartment hotel: Upon Lisbon where 129 fully-equipped apartments provide travelers the comforts of both a hotel and of a home.
With the popular Estádio Sport Lisboa e Benfica as the magnificent backdrop and merely a few steps away, Upon Lisbon is an obvious choice for football fans or concertgoers. If attending a football match isn’t enough, the nearby Museu Benfica – Cosme Damiao and Estatua de Eusebio can take any football obsession to a whole new level.
THE AMENITIES
Situated above the hotel lobby is a sophisticated Business Center that offers free Wi-Fi, photocopy service and a quiet space for small meetings. Upon Lisbon has additional rooms and space for business events and larger meetings. To release stress, the hotel gym is fully stocked with treadmills, ellipticals, paddles, bikes and bodybuilders to keep you in shape and feeling sharp.
