Given its location in Lisbon, the Altis Grand Hotel will forever be associated with the contemporary political history of the country, which is normally a platform for major media events. In the second trimester of 2014, the Altis Grand Hotel completed the last stage of its biggest renovation ever, that started in late 2011 and included the transformation of 295 deluxe and superior rooms, a presidential suite, lobby area, public spaces, bars and meeting rooms. In 2014 a new spa was inaugurated – the GSpa. The swimming pool area, sauna, hammam, gym and treatment rooms all underwent renovations as well.
