The hotel will have 100 rooms, and the number of suites has increased from four to 14.

"Marking its debut as a five-star hotel, the Tivoli Coimbra will elevate the hospitality experience in the city," says Tivoli Hotels & Resorts.

"The renovation will bring new features throughout the hotel, from the rooms to the facade, including the entrance lobby, the breakfast restaurant, the Simone Urban Bar & Kitchen, and the creation of new wellness areas, including a new indoor pool."

The project, they say, was designed by Coimbra Jardim, the hotel's owner, in conjunction with the architecture studio A3 Arquitetos and with interior design by Broadway Malyan, making it, they say, "one of the most emblematic hotels in the city of Coimbra [...]".

Among the new features, the group highlights the new wellness area, equipped with an indoor pool, gym, treatment rooms, jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath.

Lusa inquired about the investment value of the renovation and is awaiting a response.

Tivoli Hotels & Resorts, founded in 1933 in Portugal as a luxury brand, currently has approximately 20 properties in its portfolio in Portugal, Brazil, Qatar, China, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, with future projects in Europe and the Middle East.

Tivoli is part of the Minor Hotels group.
