With more than 30 million visitors last year, Portugal remains an increasingly popular destination for travellers thanks to its rich heritage, vibrant cities and beautiful landscapes.

The hotel itself offers guests a unique experience in Lisbon through its “duo” concept, which harmoniously combines two distinct architectural styles—a traditional nineteenth-century building and a more modern construction, interconnected by a courtyard that will host an exciting calendar of events throughout the year, offering entertainment for everyone.
The new hotel is located in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, between the historic Rua da Boavista and Rua Dom Luís. Inspired by Lisbon's rich cultural heritage with a modern twist, DUO Hotel Lisbon Curio Collection by Hilton features 75 well-appointed rooms, each with stunning views of the Tagus River and the charming typical houses of the city. Guest rooms are finished with locally inspired decor, including tiled headboards hand-painted in the Viúva Lamego factory. The tiled features pay tribute to the Portuguese ceramic tradition, displaying drawings from the factory's historical catalogue and reproductions of industrial tile motifs.
DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton also offers exceptional culinary experiences for guests and locals alike in collaboration with established Chef Marlene Viera. At the hotel’s restaurant, Novo Mundo, guests can enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine with a modern twist, while for those looking for Portuguese delicacies and irresistible sweet treats, there’s The Voyage pastry shop.
