Mad about shopping

For those of you who are mad about shopping, Embaixador Hotel is in a great location for your madness to run wild.

Embaixador Hotel – from Lisbon centre to shopping centres

The hotel is just 400 metres from Lisbon’s main underground station at Marquês de Pombal, so you are only six stops and no changes from Centro Comercial Colombo, one of the ten biggest in Europe.

Colombo has over 400 stores and offers a fabulous variety of goods. There are more than 65 restaurants, 10 cinemas, a Health Club, an indoor fun park and all the best fashion stores like Disney Store, Zara, Bershka, Area, Fnac and Nespresso.

If you head north from the hotel to Saldanha underground station, you are also six stations away from Centro Comercial Vasco da Gama, beside where the Expo ’98 was held, that has 164 stores including 64 restaurants, fashion stores like H&M and Nike, cinemas and so much more apart from the beauty of sitting on the edge of the river Tagus.

Although it was the first mega shopping centre to open in Lisbon, Amoreiras is still a major attraction. A lot comes down to its central location, but Amoreiras still bubbles with life all day long with its 247 stores, restaurants and cinemas.

You can get there by taxi, bus or even on foot from the Embaixador Hotel. Ask reception if you need any help.

El Corte Inglés, the famous department store with the best fashion, accessories, household goods, electronics, IT and a gourmet supermarket, delights everyone who enters its doors. It is just two underground stops away or about a 10-minute walk so keep that on your check list.
