Hotel Real Palácio takes company meetings, conventions, training days, team-building programs and Christmas dinners for up to 250 people, with five meeting and event rooms and 147 bedrooms in the same building. The five-star hotel stands on Rua Tomás Ribeiro in the Avenidas Novas business district of Lisbon, and part of it occupies a restored 17th-century manor house.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its spaces mainly to companies. Its events team lists conventions, team building and Christmas dinners among the formats it handles, and a dedicated event coordinator follows each booking from the first brief to the day itself. Rooms can be set up to match the program, and audiovisual equipment is available for hire. Wi-Fi is free, and each participant receives a notepad and pen. With 147 bedrooms upstairs, a two-day seminar can keep the whole group under one roof, which saves transfers in a city where evening traffic is slow. The hotel also presents social events as a separate offer. Ask the team which private formats it accepts.
Rooms and capacities
There are five multipurpose rooms of different sizes. The largest takes up to 250 people in auditorium layout, according to the hotel. Some rooms have natural daylight, and the hotel's inner patio, which also gets daylight, can extend a coffee break or a cocktail outside the meeting room. The hotel keeps a separate plans and capacities document for each room. Request it with your brief to compare classroom, U-shape or banquet layouts.
Accommodation
The hotel counts 147 bedrooms. Most are Standard rooms. Seven Superior rooms have balconies, and twelve Palace rooms sit in the historic wing, inside the former palace. These Palace rooms work well for speakers or VIP guests. Group rates and room blocks are handled with the events team.
Catering
Catering is provided by the hotel, with several menus to choose from for coffee breaks, lunches and dinners. Real Cozinha, the restaurant and bar, has an outdoor patio open in season. Real Restaurante serves breakfast, and the Real Sports Bar offers a casual setting with burgers and beer for an informal evening after the sessions. A health club is also on site.
History and setting
The hotel was created by restoring the former Palácio Guedes Quinhones. The Palace rooms occupy a 17th-century manor house, joined to a modern wing that holds most bedrooms and the meeting spaces. The result suits organizers who want a central business hotel with a historic part for a dinner or for VIP rooms. The hotel belongs to Real Hotels Group, which runs other event venues in Portugal.
