Home Away from Home: Why Martinhal’s Serviced Apartments Are a Game Changer for Long Family Stays

The way families travel has evolved. Longer holidays, flexible work schedules, and the desire for space and comfort have led to a growing preference for serviced apartments over traditional hotel stays. Recognising this shift early on, Martinhal Family Hotels & Resorts has redefined long-stay living in Portugal, offering the warmth of home, the convenience of a hotel, and the thoughtful touches that make every stay effortless for families.

Lisbon Living Made Effortless

In the Portuguese capital, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente and Martinhal Lisbon Chiado Resorts present two distinct interpretations of family living. Both share Martinhal’s signature family-first philosophy, yet each caters to a different rhythm of city life.

Located in the contemporary Park of Nations district, Martinhal Lisbon Oriente is ideal for modern families blending work and leisure. Spacious apartments are designed for comfort and productivity, featuring full kitchens, work-friendly areas, and private balconies. Parents can work uninterrupted while children enjoy creative programs, supervised play zones, and outdoor fun. With its co-working hub, nearby cafés, restaurants, and easy access to the Tagus riverfront, it’s a practical yet inspiring base for longer stays.

Across town, Martinhal Lisbon Chiado Family Suites offers an entirely different experience. Nestled amid Lisbon’s vibrant Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Príncipe Real districts, it features exclusive serviced apartments housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building from 1855. The design blends historical charm with high ceilings, large wooden windows, and wrought-iron balconies with contemporary interiors and family-friendly functionality. Here, families can immerse themselves in local culture by day and return to a stylish, fully serviced retreat by night.

Where Every Detail Feels Like Home

What unites both properties is Martinhal’s attention to the realities of family life. Each apartment is equipped with everything a family could need, from a Baby Concierge service offering bottle warmers, highchairs, and cots to full kitchenettes and laundry facilities for longer stays. Children are kept engaged through age-specific kids’ clubs and playrooms, allowing parents to balance work, rest, and exploration with ease.

Designed for Modern Families

As flexible work and extended travel become part of everyday life, Martinhal’s serviced apartments have emerged as the perfect solution for families seeking both independence and support. They combine the privacy of a home with the reliability of hotel hospitality, creating an appealing mix for those working remotely, relocating temporarily, or simply wanting to experience Portugal more deeply.

A Place That Feels Instantly Yours

There’s something quietly special about a stay at Martinhal. It’s in the ease of unpacking once and feeling settled, the comfort of warm breakfast just the way your children like it, and the joy of watching the city lights flicker outside your window after a long day of exploration. These are not transient hotel stays, but thoughtfully designed spaces that adapt to the pace of family life.

In a world where families are seeking comfort, connection, and flexibility, Martinhal’s serviced apartments offer the rarest luxury of all - the feeling of being completely at ease, wherever you are.
