Reabilitação de um Edifício de Serviços no Porto para função de Hotel

Este relatório de estágio aborda o tema da reabilitação, referindo-se a uma intervenção da especialidade e também construção de raíz, de um Hotel situado na rua do Heroísmo no Porto. Portugal possui um edificado que tem vindo a degradar-se ao longo dos últimos anos, devido essencialmente à falta de operações periódicas de manutenção, conservação e reabilitação. Esta degradação resulta não só do mau estado de conservação generalizado dos edifícios, mas também da inexistência de infra-estruturas urbanísticas em devido funcionamento. Tal conjunto de situações, leva a um movimento migratório dos habitantes das cidades para as respetivas periferias. A cidade do Porto não é uma exceção, estando a necessitar de um forte esforço de reabilitação para inverter esta situação. Ao longo dos últimos anos têm vindo a ser criados diversos apoios financeiros, nacionais e europeus, com o objetivo de ajudar as operações de reabilitação. Mais recentemente foi possibilitada a criação de Sociedades de Reabilitação Urbana (SRU), cujo objetivo é o de promover e orientar todo o processo de reabilitação, de forma a regula-lo nos centros das cidades. No entanto a intervenção de reabilitação de um edifício é uma operação complexa, com diversas especificidades e com inúmeras condicionantes devido às pré-existências próprias de cada edifício.

Hotel industry: An answer to the emerging trends on the global demand side of tourism

This dissertation studies essentially how Millennials are changing the hotel industry, in the sense that new trends are emerging with this generation and hotels need to respond accordingly, in order to survive within their competitive industry. Emphasis is also given to Asian travellers, as the enlargement of these countries’ middle class populations is predicted, therefore making Asian travellers a valuable target for the hotel industry. To successfully target this segment, hoteliers need also to consider the cultural differences and aspirations that come together with the Asian travellers, and appropriately adapt their offer to them. I will then redirect this study to the city of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, to analyse if Lisbon’s four and five-star hotel managers are aware of the new market trends, and to understand how they are changing their hotels in order to make them more attractive to Millennials and Asian travellers. Using a sample of 12 hotels (four and five-stars ratings), I have concluded that, although there is a notable undergoing process of adaptation to these guests, there is a long way ahead in order for Lisbon’s hotels to entirely please and retain millennial guests.

Four Seasons Hotel (Sheraton) records, 1974 – 1980, 1982, n.d.

The Four Seasons Sheraton is located on 5 acres of land in downtown Toronto, Ontario. It opened in October of 1972 as part of a joint venture with the Four Seasons chain. At that time, it was the second largest hotel in Toronto boasting 1,450 rooms. The hotel was advertised as a “city within a city”. The connection with the Four Seasons chain was severed in 1976 when Isadore Sharp (founder) sold his 49% share in the hotel.
