The Property — VIP Executive Art's Hotel
A former 19th-century royal palace turned modern hotel, the VIP Executive Art’s Hotel sits quietly on a broad avenue near Campo Pequeno. The lobby mixes exposed stone walls, retro furniture and contemporary art, giving it the feel of a design museum crossed with a comfortable sitting room. It’s a solid four-star option for travellers who want a central but not tourist-choked base, with good transport links and a pool on the roof.
Chronicles of Lisboa
Lisbon was founded around 1256 BC as a Phoenician trading post and later became a key Roman and Moorish port. The 1755 earthquake levelled much of the city, and the Marquis of Pombal rebuilt the Baixa district on a grid of wide, quake-resistant streets. By the 20th century, the city had expanded north into grand boulevards and art-nouveau buildings. Today, Lisbon mixes faded elegance with a modern tech and tourism boom, its iconic yellow trams climbing steep hills past tiled facades and pastelarias.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lisboa guide →Best months
May, June, September — warm, sunny days (22-28°C), low rain, and the city is busy but not overwhelming.
Peak / festival surge
July and August — peak tourist season with temperatures often above 30°C, long queues at attractions, and hotel rates at their highest. The Santo António festival (12-13 June) and NOS Alive music festival (early July) drive demand in July.
Budget shoulder season
April, October, November — still pleasant (15-22°C), fewer tourists, and hotel prices drop by 20-30%. Good for budget-conscious visitors who can handle occasional rain.
Weather & packing
Lisbon has a microclimate that can shift from bright sun to cool wind or drizzle in a single afternoon. Pack layers — a light jacket or cardigan — and comfortable walking shoes for steep cobblestones.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to VIP Executive Art's Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5 through 8 facing the interior courtyard. These upper floors reduce street-level noise from Avenida Dom João II, a busy four-lane avenue in the Parque das Nações district. Courtyard-facing rooms avoid the constant traffic hum and are quieter during early morning deliveries.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 and 2 facing the avenue. These sit near the hotel entrance and the adjacent convention centre loading bay, which sees heavy vehicle and foot traffic from 7am. Also skip rooms near the lift bank on any floor — the lift motors and guest chatter carry through the corridors.
Best views
Rooms on floors 8 and above, facing south-west, offer a view over the Vasco da Gama bridge and the Tagus river. The avenue runs north-east to south-west, so higher floors catch the river vista without the street clutter. Lower courtyard rooms only see neighbouring office blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 6 through 9 are optimal for quiet. Most guest bedrooms sit above the lobby, restaurant, and a small conference level, which typically end around floor 5. Above that, you get less footfall from events and dining.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Dom João II feeds into the Vasco da Gama bridge approach, so heavy traffic runs from 0600 to 1000 and 1600 to 2000. The hotel's restaurant and bar open onto a plaza used by a daily food market on weekdays, adding chatter and delivery van noise from 0800 to 1400.
Insider tips
If you're driving, the hotel shares a garage with the adjoining office tower — entry is on Rua do Bojador, not the avenue. Request a room on floor 7 or 8 when booking; those are the quietest and also give a decent view of the river if you ask for a south-facing option.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
