The winning project is based at Lisbon’s thriving Parque das Nações
Martinhal Hotels and Resorts achieved significant recognition at the 2024-2025 European Property Awards, taking home major awards in two categories.
Martinhal Residences, located in Lisbon’s thriving Parque das Nações district, received the accolade for ‘Residential Development with 20+ Units in Portugal’. In addition, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente was awarded ‘Best New Hotel Construction & Design in Portugal’ and is now competing for the European title in the same category.
“It was our vision to take our 20 years of development and luxury family hospitality experience in Portugal to create a forward-looking branded residences concept for Lisbon,” said Chitra and Roman Stern, co-founders of Martinhal Hotels and Resorts.
“We would like to thank our talented Portuguese team, including multi award-winning architects led by Eduardo Capinha Lopes; Grupo San Jose for construction; Eduardo Capinha Lopes and Romano Design for interiors; and landscape architect João Ceregeiro, all supported by our first-rate in-house design team, for their commitment to making this project such a success.
“We were proud that we had already sold 90% off plan even during a challenging global environment. Recognising the huge potential of Parque das Nações in Lisbon Oriente has been a huge driver for the success of this project and others followed. It’s now one of the most dynamic neighbourhoods in the city and it continues to go from strength to strength.
“I think we have succeeded in the perfect hybrid environment for our residents, leisure and corporate travel and compelling options for city long stays. It’s an honour to receive this recognition, crucially across both residential for Martinhal Residences and hospitality for Martinhal Lisbon Oriente,” the Sterns concluded.
As a 5* winner, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente will automatically be entered into the overall international awards, culminating in a glittering awards ceremony at the end of the year.
These latest accolades are among the latest won by the group, which saw one of its co-founders, Chitra Stern, honoured with the “Medal of Merit for Tourism” by the Portuguese government in October.
The European Property Awards, now in their 31st year, are renowned for their high standards, judged by a panel of over 100 industry experts with a focus on innovation, quality, and sustainability. They are considered the largest, most prestigious, and widely recognised programme throughout the regions.
