THE CORINTHIA GROUP
RENAMES IT'S FIVE-STAR PROPERTY IN LISBON TO
"CORINTHIA LISBOA HOTEL"
The Corinthia is
the Largest Conference Hotel in
Lisbon
 The
Corinthia Group affiliated International Hotel
Investments plc (IHI), a public company based in
Malta, with hotel investments in Budapest, Lisbon,
Malta, and St Petersburg, announced that its
five-star Corinthia Alfa Hotel in Lisbon was
renamed 'Corinthia Lisboa Hotel', to better reflect
the fruitful association that exists between the
internationally recognized Corinthia Brand and the
city of Lisbon in Portugal.
Following extensive
renovation work in 2004, the 24-story Corinthia
Alfa Hotel emerged as the newest five-star hotel in
the city. The hotel has 517 rooms and suites
and 3,000m2 allocated to state-of-the-art meeting
facilities, with 17 meeting and syndicate rooms,
the largest of which houses up to 750 delegates in
theatre style. This makes Corinthia Alfa the
largest conference hotel in Lisbon, able to handle
1,400 delegates at any given time, supported by a
24th floor Executive Lounge affording spectacular
views of Lisbon, complete with boardrooms,
executive check-in and business facilities. All the
hotel's communal areas have wireless Internet
access.
Announcing the name
change, Corinthia Lisboa general manager Jose Luiz
Moreira said "The property has been operating as
the Corinthia Alfa Hotel ever since IHI took it
over in 2001. The retention of the name Alfa
enabled us to capitalize on the market's awareness
and knowledge of the original Alfa Hotel that had
served the Lisbon market for many years.
However, since its re-opening last year with a
vastly improved product that firmly established it
as one of the leading 5-star hotels in the Lisbon
market, we firmly believe it is now time for the
respected 'Corinthia' trade name to feature
prominently alongside that of the great city it
serves, hence Corinthia Lisboa"
 Located
in the heart of Lisbon's financial district, the
Corinthia Lisboa hotel is within close distance to
the historical city centre, as well as being very
close to the magnificent Estoril
coastline.
IHI is a public
company based in Malta with hotel investments in
Lisbon, Malta, Budapest and St Petersburg. The
Company's hotels are operated by Corinthia Hotels
International, an associate company of IHI that
operates 20 outstanding four and five-star city and
resort hotels in Belgium, the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Libya, Malta, Portugal, Russia, The
Gambia, Togo, Tunisia and Turkey.
