Like the city in which it sits, the Altis Avenida is an intriguing mix of the old and the new. While the hotel retains its original facade and grand staircase, its 70 rooms — including two suites — have been completely updated with luxurious, modern furnishings that have just enough Art Deco style to blend the two together. The hotel also has an airy meeting room and a rooftop restaurant and bar that provides panoramic views of the city, and also offers its guests free access to the indoor pool and health club at nearby sister Hotel Altis. Perhaps even more enticing is the hotel's location, ideally placed at the intersection of Baxia, Alfama, and Bairro Alto — three of the city's more intriguing neighborhoods — making it perfect for those looking to explore outside the hotel walls.
