Corinthia Hotel Lisbon

I’ll start off this review by saying this hotel is fabulous. The hotel is large, comfortable and extremely accommodating. One thing that occurred during our stay let the hotel down, on our first day our bags were looked after by the hotel as we arrived too early for check in. Upon checking in our bags couldn’t be found by the staff members. After looking though the numerous baggage rooms with no results a staff member brought them to our room saying he had them all the time. We were without our bags for 5 hours before they were sent up to our room, no complimentary gift was offered as an apology. Other than that my girlfriend and I had an amazing stay in this hotel and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Obviously, when you look at the price point of this hotel, this is some cream of the crop hospitality. And it is. It’s extremely clean and accommodating with lots of little happy discoveries to be made, like robes and slippers and good pencils and retractable tea sets and massive beds and an amazing breakfast buffet (another 18 – 20 euro FYI, but in my mind, worth it with all the things you could possibly want in a breakfast buffet).
Also an all hours gym which is extremely convenient for my cousin and my mother (basically anyone but me, because the last time I went to a gym was 4 years ago).
The lobby is absolutely beautiful and humongous.
The elevators are like the most high tech elevators I’ve ever seen. No buttons required, you swipe your card, enter a floor number, and it tells you which elevator will take you to your room. Maybe I’m just not on top of my elevator game but I thought it was pretty cool and it gives you an idea of how much effort went into this place.
Ok my only thing to knock it on?
Their swimming pool/​jacuzzi: MAKE SURE YOU BRING A SWIMCAP. You’re not allowed in without one and they will try and sell you one for five euro.
Also the people who work on the second floor at the spa gym pool area are unnecessarily snarky.

This hotel was really nice. The room was comfortable and spacious. The views from the upper floors were amazing. Service was good. We went to the 24^th floor a few times to enjoy some snacks (and breakfast) and the servers were always very helpful. I used the pool once and it was really pretty and relaxing. I really enjoyed my stay in Lisbon. I didn’t know what to expect from this hotel but it was definitely a great stay.
p. s. A cab ride to most parts of the city was only 10 euros, and that wasn’t too bad.

The hotel is really very well done. It’s what you’d expect from a 5 star hotel. My only complaint is that the location is more suited for business travelers than tourists so you really don’t have a lot of choices for restaurants and shopping within a 10 minute walk. There are a lot of medical/​hospital related businesses in the area but it is only 3 minutes from the metro and train station. Tip, get the ²⁴⁄₄₈ hour metro passes, you’ll need them.
The hotel has a doorman complete with uniform although in 4 days I think I saw him open the door twice. Not sure what purpose he serves other than ornamental. But the lobby is exquisite and typical of a 5 star hotel. The room was also beautiful and had the only real king size bed we found in 2 weeks of travel! It wasn’t the typical 2 beds pushed together to make a king complete with the gap down the center which can be dangerous in the middle of the night. They also have a hidden coffee and pastry section towards the back of the first floor which I didn’t discover till the last day. Free coffee and pastries. Wish I had known earlier!
While the hotel is gorgeous, I felt like the staff was just a little bit disinterested or stuffy. They all spoke great English but they made me feel like I was bothering them. But I can overlook that. Liked the hotel but would not choose to stay here again since it’s a bit out of the way. Although, it’s a short cab ride (8 euro) to the airport for your departure!

I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Lisbon. The staff are all very nice, speak English, and are very accommodating. Guilhermo at the front desk stood out above the rest as he was very helpful in understanding local culture and customs while always making sure that we had what we needed.
The hotel itself is in a seemingly weird area with graffiti’d walls nearby, but it is right across the street from the metro and train station (Sete Rios). There is a cheap bodega or shop where you can buy beer, water, and snacks and there are a few restaurants on the block that seemed to be pretty lively on a Sunday night.

Das Corinthia-​Hotel befindet sich etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums in der Nähe des Zoologischen Gartens. Die Umgebung ist nur mäßig ansprechend. Das Hotel schließt an ein Wohngebiet an, das immerhin einige Restaurants und kleinere Supermärkte bietet. In der anderen Richtung liegt eine größere Straße, unweit befindet sich auch die Estacão Sete Rios, die mit Metro und S-​Bahn sehr guten Anschluss an das Zentrum bietet. Nachdem das Gebäude auch in der Einflugschneise fes unweiten Flughafens liegt, sollte man nicht allzu lärmempfindlich sein.
Das Gebäude verfügt über 21 Stockwerke, ganz oben ist die Executive Lounge für die oberen Etagen. Unser Zimmer im sechsten Stock war nicht zu beanstanden, sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Einige Details hätten besser sein können, die Klimaanlage und eine Steckdose funktionierten nicht. Das war es aber auch schon mit konkreter Kritik. Das Fitnesscenter im zweiten Stock war top ausgestattet und ausreichend für die Größe drs Hsuses dimensioniert. Positiv auch, dass es einen Indoor-​Swimming-​Pool mit angeschlossener Sonnenterrasse gibt. Leider war es dort für meinen Geschmack in dieser ungemütlichen Märzwoche etwas zu kalt; die Dusche könnte ruhig auch einen Warmwasserhahn haben. Der Spabereich sah laut des fachkundigen Kommentars meiner Freundin toll aus, die Preise hätten unser Budget aber gesprengt.
Auswahl und Qualität des von uns mitgebuchten Frühstücksbuffets waren gut. Zahlreiche Brotsorten, süße Teilchen, Müsli, Früchte, Salate und Aufschnitt warten auf den hungrigem Gast. Dazu gibt es noch eine warme Theke mit Rührei, Würstchen und weiteren internationalen Frühstücksklassikern. Leider wechselte die Auswahl die ganze Woche überhaupt nicht.
Zu kritisieren ist noch die schlechte Akustik in den Zimmern. Wir hörten die Flugzeuge, Badewanne und Fernseher des offensichtlich frischverliebten Pärchens im Nachbarzimmer, das sich auch in regelmäßigen Abständen furchtbar gerne hatte…
Trotzdem hatte das Corinthia nach unseren Recherchen mit das beste Preis-​Leistung — Verhältnis für ein Viersternehotel, weshalb ich ihm ganz knappe vier Sterne gebe.

Não está ao nível de um hotel de 5 estrelas «normal» em Lisboa e por isso o preço também reduz um pouco relativamente à sua concorrência. Não que o serviço que oferecem seja mau, mas o hotel já se encontra um pouco deslocado do que vemos nos dias de hoje e do que também exigimos por um determinado preço. Tem um espaço muito agradável e uma piscina óptima, quase ao estilo de «Sex and the City» em que apetece ficar e ficar.

A minha relação com este hotel é profissional. Este hotel de 5 estrelas tem uma localização privilegiada, junto a um terminal de comboios e metro que permite em 5 minutos estarmos no centro de Lisboa e a 15 minutos de carro do aeroporto de Lisboa. A maior parte dos clientes deste hotel faz parte de grupos que vêm a Lisboa no âmbito de conferências pelo que este hotel tem apostado na melhoria dos espaços reservados a estes eventos, em tamanho e qualidade. O restaurante oferece uma cozinha de inspiração mediterrânica que, não sendo fabulosa, não tem falhas a apontar. Estive em diversos jantares/​conferências/​eventos e a opção ao prato de carne foi sempre muito bem conseguida. O SPA construído em ²⁰⁰⁹⁄₂₀₁₀ foi uma boa aposta como complemento de serviços oferecidos pelo hotel e é um espaço excelente. O espaço exterior na parte de trás do hotel permite passar umas boas horas ao final do dia a tomar um copo.

Quando, por motivos profissionais tenho de fazer marcações para grandes grupos, penso logo no Corinthia Hotel — pela localização central, pela acessibilidade fácil dos participantes (mesmo aos que são de fora de Lisboa porque além do metro com conexão para estação de comboios, tem também muito perto um terminal de autocarros), mas sobretudo pela experiência que os responsáveis têm na organização destes eventos mais alargados.
Tenho, neste campo sentido muito profissionalismo e sente-​se que eles têm grande prática e oferecem muitas hipóteses para preços diferentes — sala reservada, grande ou pequena, buffet completo, menu pré definido, etc
A comida não é má, talvez um pouco massificada, mas a apresentação é fantástica e o ambiente é bonito e repousante.
A minha experiência com este hotel, é profissional e por isso estou habilitada a falar do profissionalismo dos seus responsáveis.
