Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel in Archello 2023 Awards

There are around 51 countries competing in a list that defines the best in architecture and design. Criteria such as technique, innovation, social relevance, and sustainability give Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel a prestigious place in the Hotel Building of the Year category.

Nominated for Hotel Building of The Year, it is with Visioarq that Renaissance Hotels' first project in Portugal makes its debut at the Arechello Awards. The Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel is the new Portuguese hotel that opened in April in Porto, with architecture by Visioarq. The proposed challenge - to design a hotel that was an urban, elegant, and sophisticated refuge and a 4-star unit that broke with the traditional concept of most hotels - was met with a strong investment in exterior architecture.

The construction of the Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel was decisive in rehabilitating a 3-hectare area of Porto - respecting strict sustainability criteria in its execution - and was completed by the design teams with multiple responses.

Of particular note is the complexity of the structural elements of the façade and the cantilevered swimming pool, as well as the prefabricated concrete canopy, simulating large-scale mosaics with a hidden metal structure, which took six months to complete.

The architecture of the new Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel is based on a solid concept: to make the city grow with inspiring forms, in the simplicity and elegance typical of a cosmopolitan lifestyle.
