“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,” - David Kelly, senior vice president, Continental Europe, Hilton.
