AVANI Hotels and Resorts will debut in Europe with the opening of AVANI Avenida Liberdade Lisbon Hotel in the Portuguese capital. The 119-key hotel will launch on April 1, following the completion of a EUR 1.5 million refurbishment.
Alejandro Bernabe, Group Director AVANI HotelsÊand Resorts, said he was thrilled to launch his upscale brand. ÒLisbon is a dynamic European city and a hot destination right now, appealing to millennial-minded travellers,” said Mr Bernabe.Ê”AVANI hotels are specifically designed with this new breed of traveller in mind Ð people who aren’t defined by age but by mind-set and common values and who really appreciate the details that matter.Ó
This newest addition to the AVANI portfolio will respond to the needs and aspirations of millennial-minded travellers, both in its product delivery and its design elements. The property, formerly Tivoli Jardim Lisboa Hotel, is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment. The scope of work includes the redesign of the faade, the guestrooms, lobby, reception and the installation of an AVANI-FIT gym. The open plan lobby merges the reception, lounge, meeting and chill areas together.
All guest rooms will have balconies, with AVANI Premier Rooms enjoying views over Avenida da Liberdade, whereas AVANI Deluxe rooms, located on the highest floors, will have sweeping views over the city. AVANI Family Rooms will offer king-sized beds and a double sofa-bed, making them the perfect choice for families.
For AVANI business guests, the neighbouring Palacete Conference and Events Centre offers three floors of event space with capacity for up to 260 people. The ground floor has a large reception area, the first floor offers three function rooms with varied configuration capabilities along with an outdoor terrace, and the top floor houses an exclusive Boardroom with its own foyer and elevator access.
