Channel Resort Living In The Center Of Lisbon At The Tivoli Avenida Liberdade

Lisbon is experiencing a post-Covid 19 tourism boom that few other global cities can enjoy. According to Statista, in 2021 alone, over 1.9 million international tourists flocked to the city. This number rose in the first eight months of 2022 with pandemic restrictions lifted.

With Portugal being voted the “Best Tourism Destination in Europe” for 2022, Lisbon has benefitted from a growing interest from international travelers. The capital reached 85% of its pre-pandemic numbers in 2022.

The reason is obvious. Lisbon boasts some of the most breathtaking landmarks in all of Western Europe that date back over 1,000 years. Coupled with its mild climate, walkable and safe city streets, friendly locals and relatively inexpensive offerings, it’s is a traveler’s dream.

Like the tour guides and restaurants lining its streets, Lisbon’s hotels are also benefitting from its popularity. When opting for a hotel, you’ll have your choice of where to stay. You can hole up in the cool, party-centric areas of Alfama or Barrio Alto in a tightly nestled spot right in the middle of the action. But, for a resort experience in the center of the city, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa has everything you could possibly want, plus a bit of room to stretch out after a long day touring. There’s a reason that in its 90 year history, it’s drawn the likes of such bold-faced names as Maria Callas, Gregory Peck, Johnny Depp, Madonna, Marc Jacobs, Cindy Crawford and Cristian Ronaldo.

The 90-year-old property is an iconic stalwart on the Avenida Liberdade – the stylish boulevard akin to New York’s Fifth Avenue, with a bevy of high-end boutiques and five-star restaurants just outside. It’s old world elegance meets first-class service. But should you be clamoring for indie spots and basement bars, the hipster neighborhoods and retail districts of Baixa and Chiado are just a short walk away.

Upon sidling up the Tivoli’s wide marble step and into its grand lobby, you’ll find

locals and travelers alike sipping afternoon tea, or waiting to dine at The Cervejaria Avenida Liberdade, the property’s high-end and elegant Portuguese restaurant just off the lobby. With a focus on a Mediterranean cuisine plus an emphasis on local seafood, the Cervejaria Liberdade’s offering, like oysters from the south coast or sublime whitefish, is a grand sort of respite, with gigantic windows overlooking the boulevard flanked by blue velvet treatments and wood accents.

Come evening, the crowd heads upstairs to revel with sundown cocktails overlooking Lisbon’s incredible skyline at the Tivoli’s stylish Sky Bar. This chic eatery boasting everything from sushi to steak offers views of St. Jorge’s Castle, the River Tagus and the Arrábida Mountains. The rooftop terrace is certainly the draw, as revelers pose for selfies amidst stunning backdrop.

In true resort fashion, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade offers more than just great food and drinks. There’s to the Anantara Spa – a sophisticated wellness spa inspired by holistic practices. With its massive treatment rooms, the spa offers an array of facial treatments and body work, while just outside, a swimming pool tucked into semi-tropical greenery leads the way to relaxation. Tivoli’s Pool Bar features sandwiches, salads, ice creams, and an extensive range of cocktails and local wines – just in case you need to refuel for your next night out in this charming city.
