PRE-CONFERENCE EXPERIENCES IN LISBON AND SINTRA

The two nights of our Pre-Conference will be spent in Lisbon. 

 We have a limited number of double rooms at the elegant Lisbon Pessoa Hotel, which are available on a first come basis. Please note we are unable to arrange for roommates during the Pre-Conference; you’ll want to reserve this option only if you are already traveling with a companion. 

 Hotel suggestions are provided below for participants not staying at the Pessoa. 

The Lisbon Pessoa Hotel 

The Pessoa is a four-star boutique hotel located in the center of Lisbon, close to the Chiado district. Inspired by the life and work of Fernando Pessoa, the hotel celebrates the poet and philosopher in its libraries and literary gatherings and tours. With a sophisticated, contemporary design, and rich in architectural details, rooms at the Pessoa all have air conditioning and complementary wifi. The hotel also features a lovely open-air rooftop lounge.

Pre-Conference participants not staying at the Pessoa will make their own hotel arrangements in Lisbon for the two nights of June 2nd and 3rd. 

 Self-Booking Your Accommodations in Lisbon:

When booking your hotel for Lisbon, we recommend researching accommodations in the Chiado or Bairro Alto neighborhoods. This will put you in close proximity to our group and activities at the Hotel Pessoa.

 As a reminder: You’ll want to book a room for the two nights of June 2nd and 3rd (checking in on Friday, June 2nd and checking out after breakfast on Sunday, June 4th). 

 To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of hotels within walking distance of the Hotel Pessoa. Please know that we aren’t endorsing any of these options; they’re simply well-reviewed and conveniently located. We’ve also included the walking distance to the Hotel Pessoa.
