Hilton is launching two hotels in Portugal under its Curio Collection by Hilton brand. Hilton has three hotels in Portugal. The two new hotels will join Conrad Algarve, Hilton Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort & Spa and DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Fontana Park.
The collection of remarkable upper-upscale hotels and resorts will be joined by The Emerald House Lisbon, which will open in the Portuguese capital in Summer 2020, and Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia in Porto, which will welcome guests in a phased opening in December 2019 with the hotel fully operational in Spring 2020.
The landmark openings will mark significant milestones for Hilton as it delivers on its global growth goals and expands into key European destinations. Hilton, which currently offers 17 world-class hospitality brands, operates a multi-brand strategy offering choice to investors, owners and guests through its range of hospitality options and brand experiences.

With a global portfolio of more than 80 one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts, 17 properties currently trading in Europe and a further 19 under development, the collection boasts properties in exceptional destinations, including London, Rome and Paris.
Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, EMEA, Hilton said: “We are delivering on our European expansion strategy and pleased to introduce the Curio Collection by Hilton experience to Portugal, which saw foreign visitor numbers increase to nearly three million in 2018, up 7.5% compared to 2017.
