IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Kimpton Lisbon, the first Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants property in the Portuguese capital. Set to open its doors in 2026, the boutique luxury hotel marks the second Kimpton to come to Portugal, following the signing of Kimpton Algarve São Rafael Atlántico in late 2023.
Kimpton Lisbon adds to IHG’s fast-growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio, now the second largest in the world, and reinforces its focus on its growing presence in the country. In the luxury and lifestyle segment, IHG operates six open hotels and has seven more in development for brands, including Six Senses, Hotel Indigo, and Vignette Collection’s recently opened Convent Square Lisbon and Casa da Companhia in Porto.
Signed under a franchise agreement with Real Hotel Group, the hotel will be reimagined as an excellent representation of the Kimpton brand, with 141 guestrooms and public areas redesigned to take inspiration from the light and colours of the city. From unique, design-forward spaces featuring inspiring, high-quality finishes to seasonally-inspired restaurants and bars - including a rooftop bar and pool – the hotel will seamlessly cater for guests looking to engage in new cultures, cuisines or conversations.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, Kimpton Lisbon will become an ideal launch point for exploration, with key tourist attractions in walking distance, including the Eduardo VII Park, Marquês de Pombal Square and Avenida Liberdade, as well as museums and the city’s bustling restaurants and bar scene.
“Working with our partners at Real Hotels Group, we are delighted to bring our Kimpton brand to the vibrant and culturally rich city of Lisbon. The hotel is a great addition to our growing luxury and lifestyle portfolio in Portugal, joining the recently signed Kimpton Algarve São Rafael Atlántico and further demonstrating owner demand and guest appetite for our Kimpton brand," said Willemijn Geels, VP of Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
"Merging a culture of genuine hospitality and unique, design-forward hotels for all, Kimpton Lisbon will create transformative experiences where locals and visitors seamlessly come together. I look forward to welcoming guests to our latest Kimpton boutique luxury property when it opens in 2026.”
