Hilton To Open Three New Hotels in Portugal

As a part of the company’s plan to expand its presence in Europe, Hilton recently announced it will be opening three new hotels in Portugal in 2025 and 2026. The properties will fall under three different brands: Canopy by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton.

“Last year tourist numbers soared to record highs in Portugal and with demand expected to continue, it’s an incredibly attractive hotel investment market,” said Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development EMEA, Hilton. “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. 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.”

Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina

This will be a boutique property with 155 rooms and a host of amenities including a restaurant, bar, fitness center, spa, outdoor pool and more. It’s currently scheduled to open in 2026.

“We’re thrilled to be announcing Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina. The Algarve received more than five million visitors last year, and there continues to be significant demand for high quality accommodation in the region,” said Francisco Moser, CEO of Hospitality at Details Hospitality, Sports & Leisure (part of Arrow Global). “Complimenting the nearby Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa, the hotel will be an exciting new lifestyle option in this key tourist destination, providing a locally inspired and welcoming stay.”

Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Guests interested in relaxation and immersing themselves in nature will enjoy a stay at Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, the company’s first hotel in the Santiago do Cacém region. Scheduled to open in 2025, the property will have 44 rooms and a restaurant, bar, gym and rooftop pool. Visitors will have plenty of opportunities to take in the views of stunning beaches and other surrounding landscapes.

DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport

Also set to open in 2025, DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport will offer a convenient option for both business and leisure travelers. In addition to range of facilities for meetings, conferences and events, the property will have a modern fitness room, a restaurant, bar and a spacious outdoor area for guests to use. The hotel will have 199 rooms and 20 suites.

“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, President of Mercan Properties Portugal. “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.”
