Historical Hotel Avenida Palace in Lisbon

The Hotel Avenida Palace, in the heart of the center of Lisbon (near the
Rossio Railway Station on this link) not only has a great location but
also a beautiful history.




Some history

The Avenida Palace Hotel was founded at the end of the 19th. century. It
opened the doors in 1892.

Then Carlos I was King of Portugal. The same year on 14 June 1892
the country was declared bankrupt. More about Carlos I of Portugal
on this link

During the Belle Époque the hotel was one of the best in Europe for its
style, location and standard of service.

When the Republic of Portugal was established, during the Spanish
civil war and during the two World Wars, the Avenida Palace Hotel
was an active stage for political intrigue and espionage.
