Hilton Debuts Two New Stunning Portuguese Properties - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

“We’re excited to introduce these two fantastic hotels to Portugal, where we have plans to more than double our presence. 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. With our second Curio Collection by Hilton property in the capital, and our first hotel in the Azores, we’re thrilled to further expand our range of properties and welcome more guests across Portugal,” said David Kelly, senior vice president, Continental Europe, Hilton.

DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton

Perfectly situated in the vibrant Cais do Sodré neighbourhood of the Portuguese capital, DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton is the ideal base to explore iconic sites, including the city’s famous ‘Pink Street’ and Mercado da Ribeira. 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.

DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores 

Set on the island of São Miguel in the Azores, DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores marks Hilton’s debut in the region. Ideally located just a 10-minute drive from the city of Ponta Delgada, the hotel overlooks the ocean and offers easy access to key sights, including the Gorreana Tea Factory, Lagoa das Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo, meaning it’s a perfect choice for travellers looking to explore everything the island has to offer.

Each of the hotel’s 101 rooms and suites offer panoramic views of the island's luscious landscapes and picturesque Atlantic Ocean coastline. DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores has everything a traveller could need with a restaurant and bar, a rooftop bar, pool and a wellness space. The Frondoso Restaurant & Bar serves a variety of dishes made with local products from Chef João Fevereiro and one of the largest selections of wine on the island. Guests can expect a delicious gastronomic experience, where they can taste the best of Azorean cuisine in a contemporary elegant setting.

For those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, Mistico Rooftop Bar & Pool offers a cosy space where guests can try natural juices and craft cocktails made with local ingredients from the Azores, whilst enjoying the breathtaking rooftop views of the coast. The Mistico rooftop pool also allows guests to sit back, relax and soak in the natural beauty of the island whilst, the Inala Wellness Space features an indoor pool, a Turkish bath, sauna and two treatment rooms, allowing guests to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.
