Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the opening of its newest
European property, Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton –
marking the latest addition to its rapidly growing boutique collection brand.
The intimate 59-room hotel perfectly blends modern distinct design with opulent
glamour, a nod to the area’s famed past and regal heritage as a much-loved
summer retreat of royalty and European nobility, dating back to 1890 with King
Louis I.
Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton is
an ideal base for exploring everything this idyllic town has to offer and is
only 28 kilometers from Lisbon, the enchanting Portuguese capital, easily
reachable by car or public transport. Situated in the heart of Cascais, the
hotel is just a short walk away from the rich culture of the old town and the
stunning long beaches of the Portuguese Riviera, with plenty for guests to
enjoy all year round thanks to the region’s mild temperatures. Must-see attractions
include The Conde de Castro Guimaraes Museum, Boca do Inferno, Palácio da
Cidadela de Cascais, and the Cascais Marina, all of which are within easy
reach. For thrill-seekers, the resort town along the coast of the Atlantic is
also a hotspot for surfing and sailing, with a buzzing nightlife thanks to an
array of luxury restaurants and bars around the marina. Cascais is also home to
Casino Estoril, which inspired Ian Flemming’s Casino Royale, the first James
Bond novel.
The newly opened hotel boasts a sophisticated
design with contemporary furnishings and elegantly appointed rooms, many of
which feature balconies with breathtaking views overlooking the ocean.
Alongside both indoor and outdoor pools, the hotel also offers a tranquil spa
escape for guests to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. Legacy Spa by Wake is
equipped with three treatment rooms and a sauna as well as a modern fitness
centre.
Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 at Legacy Hotel
Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton, blends the traditional dishes of the
Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi coast with an innovative approach and the
best local Portuguese ingredients to bring a taste of Italy to Cascais. Guests
can sample Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890’s culinary delights whilst enjoying the
decadent design of the restaurant and bar or soak in the sun’s rays on the
connecting private patio.
