The Oriente Apartment in Lisbon

A taste of the Future in Parque das Nações

With the Oriente apartment, you enter the new era of Lisbon. In a surrounding of futuristic buildings, here is the Parque das Nações ! The apartment is a modern, fully equipped three bedroom apartment located in a brand new building. The area is very lively with Casino Lisboa, the Vasco da Gama Shopping mall and many other activities along the river like the Oceanarium. To go to the historical part of the city, use the metro or bus network for a quicker ride.

The area surrounding the apartment:

The neighbourhood of the apartment is what is called Parque das Nações (Park of the Nations) and was the site of the Expo ‘98. This exhibition has been the engine of a complete remodelling of this former industrial area, and the result is astonishingly and positively surprising. It is true that the most prestigious architects of the world built many superb buildings here like the Oriente railway station, the 14km long Vasco da Gama Bridge and Tower or the Portugal Pavillion. But after the Expo, the area also kept its full activities and attractiveness for both locals and tourists with the Oceanarium of Lisbon, the Pavilhão Atlantico with major top star concerts and Casino Lisboa recently opened. It also became the new heart of the business city with plenty of headquarter offices, restaurants and shopping areas. Not to be too isolated from the historical part of the city, the Expo offers good transportation facilities with metro or bus links with other parts of the capital.

The apartment:

The Oriente apartment is located in the very centre of the Expo area at a walking distance of the Oriente metro station (100m) and all facilities. On the 10th floor of a recent building, it has three bedrooms to allow accomodation for up to 6 persons in a very convivial mode over 160m².

Two bedrooms are towards the Tagus river, and thus very sunny with a large double bed, wardrobe space and direct access to the bathroom with bathtub for one of them, the other with twin beds and wardrobe space. The third bedroom also has two single beds and a small dressing room. A second bathroom is at your disposal which also has a bathtub and high quality towels.

The living room / dining room is a large space and opens onto a generous view of the Expo zone and the Tagus river. Here you will relax in one of the couches admiring the magical landscape from the 10th floor unless you prefer watching a cable television programme on the large TV/ DVD set.. The kitchen is a separate room, very bright and overlooking the Oriente railway station in the back, fully equipped with appliances awaiting would be chefs to prepare home made meals.

The apartment has central heating for the winter even though temperatures always remain mild in Lisbon in winter. A space for one car in the underground garage is included, but you can have a second space upon request.

This is a truly perfect place for those who like contemporary living in the middle of a brand new city or those who are here for business in Lisbon !
