The Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel has once again positioned itself at the forefront of sustainable hospitality in Portugal. Following its milestone achievement as the first hotel in Portugal to receive LEED Platinum certification, the property has now been named among the “Top 100 of the World” by the International Sustainability Awards 2025—a global recognition honoring hospitality leaders driving environmentally responsible tourism.
