Hilton has announced plans to expand its presence in Portugal with the addition of three new hotels under the Canopy by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and DoubleTree by Hilton brands.
Scheduled to open in 2025 and 2026, these new properties will further Hilton's growth in Southern Europe, offering a variety of accommodations and experiences for travelers.
“Last year tourist numbers soared to record highs in Portugal and with demand expected to continue, it’s an incredibly attractive hotel investment market. 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.” - Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development EMEA, Hilton
Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina
Expected to open in 2026, Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina will offer a boutique hotel experience that highlights the local area. Situated 500 meters from Praia da Vilamoura in the centre of Marina Vilamoura, the 155-room hotel will feature amenities such as a restaurant, bar, spa, outdoor pool, and fitness center. The development is a result of a franchise agreement with Arrow Global Group.
“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. 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.” - Francisco Moser, CEO of Hospitality at Details Hospitality, Sports & Leisure (part of Arrow Global)

Indeed, we expect that these three properties will create approximately 325 jobs, providing a meaningful contribution to local employment and investment in Portugal.” - Jordi Vilanova, President of Mercan Properties Portugal
