Hotel Review : VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at Lisbon, Portugal

VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel is located 15 mins drive from Lisbon center, the location is great especially if you are driving with your own rental car. The hotel is hidden in an industrial area, look casual and modern and it is an only 8-minute walk from Santa Iria train station.

VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at LisbonPersimmon and orange tree were found outside the hotel. Persimmon is pronounced as “caqui” in Portuguese and Spanish and it is also pronounced as “kaki” in Japanese. Can you believe it has the same pronunciation?

A little praying house at the entrance of the hotel, next to the orange tree.

The hotel is big (124 rooms) and is able to host events and meetings. It has a swimming pool and a jacuzzi and surrounded by a beautiful garden. There is also parking and free Wifi connection.

Hotel Review : VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at Lisbon, Portugal

As mentioned, it is located in Santa Iria de Azóia district of Lisbon, an industrial and housing area. Nearby you will find the Vasco da Gama mall (20 mins) and Lisbon airport (15 mins).

The front lobby is very spacious and I think it is fit for big groups of guest for the conference or meeting.

Shoes Polisher Machine

Cigarettes Vending Machine

I don’t see so many vending machines in Portugal and Spain but I do find cigarettes vending machine at the hotels’ lobby, restaurants, supermarket or highway rest area.

Weighing Machine

There is a weighing machine at the front lobby but you need a one dollar Euro to use the machine to weigh your luggage.

Hotel Review : VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at Lisbon, Portugal

VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel has 124 rooms, quite spacious I find and comfortable. Each room is equipped with air-conditioning, minibar, cable TV, safe deposit box, desk and private bathroom.

Bathroom Review

I love how the shower and bathroom are separated by the glass door which makes it very neat to use.

Basic Toiletries

Hotel Review : VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at Lisbon, Portugal

Bidet

A separate bidet wash bowl is common to have in Portugal and Spain bathroom. The bidet is usually located adjacent to the toilet bowl. I find it very interesting as I have never seen one before. It does not have a lid and it took me quite a while to figure out how to use it. I think I still prefer the Japanese one-touch electronic toilet (which include the function of bidet wash) works better and so smart! It is also easier to use as you do not need to hop from one toilet bowl to another and do not need to wet your hand at all. The Japanese toilet is fully automated, just with one touch at the buttons in the panel.

Every single bed is provided with two clean pillows.

Breakfast Review

The breakfast starts at around 7 am and we were lucky there is no conference group so there are plenty of space to sit.

Square Table Setting

Round Table Setting

I find it unusual to have the round table in the restaurant, it must be catered to Asia tourists.

Hotel Review : VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel at Lisbon, Portugal

Final thoughts:

VIP Executive Santa Iria Hotel is a decent 3 to 3.5-star hotel located 15 mins away from the city center of Lisbon.  If you are driving with your own car, this place is great as it has free parking.

I love the shoe polish machine, and was surprised to see a cigarette machine, but I haven’t been to Europe in a few years. Looks like a comfortable place to stay, .

I’ve heard they still have cigarette machines in Europe, and this confirms it. The location and room accommodations are exquisite, and the foods are amazing.
