PORTUGAL | Hilton has announced plans to open three new hotels in Portugal in 2025 and 2026 under three different brands.
Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina, Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport will join Hilton’s rapidly growing presence in Portugal and its Southern European portfolio.
“Last year tourist numbers soared to record highs in Portugal and with demand expected to continue, it’s an incredibly attractive hotel investment market. We’re thrilled to have signed three new properties across three of our world-class brands, further expanding our Portuguese portfolio of more than 20 hotels trading and in our pipeline,” said Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president of development at Hilton.
“Standing strong as a popular destination known for its warm and inviting culture, beautiful landscapes and fantastic food and drink, we are proud to be further enhancing the range of options for travellers in Portugal.”
Following a franchise agreement with Arrow Global Group, Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina will offer guests an elevated, boutique hotel experience that will showcase the absolute best of the locale.
The 155-room property is located 500 metres from Praia da Vilamoura, in the heart of Marina Vilamoura. Amenities within the hotel include a restaurant and bar, Canopy Central, as well as a spa, outdoor pool and a fitness centre. The property is due to open in 2026 and guests can be assured that their experience will leave them feeling recharged.
Set to open in 2025, Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton will be the first Hilton property in the Santiago do Cacém region. With its unique beaches and beautiful landscapes, the location of this property makes it a perfect destination for guests to relax and connect with nature while enjoying the hotel’s vibrancy.
Following a franchise agreement with Mercan Properties Group, DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport will consist of 199 guest rooms and 20 suites and is set to open its doors to guests in 2025. Located just a five-minute drive from one of Europe’s most dynamic airports, this DoubleTree by Hilton property will offer ultimate convenience for business and leisure travellers.
“Having also recently announced the stunning Hilton Alvor, these signings mark the continued expansion of our portfolio with Hilton across Portugal, under multiple brands,” said Jordi Vilanova.
“Importantly, these projects will benefit the travellers visiting them and the communities in which they operate within. Indeed, we expect that these three properties will create approximately 325 jobs, providing a meaningful contribution to local employment and investment in Portugal.”
