From city to coast, DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores openings offer something for all travellers

Hilton has announced the opening of two hotels, DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton and DoubleTree by Hilton Lagoa Azores, as the company expands its portfolio in Portugal.

“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.

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.

DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton also offers exceptional culinary experiences for guests and locals alike in collaboration with established Chef Marlene Viera. At the hotel’s restaurant, Novo Mundo, guests can enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine with a modern twist, while for those looking for Portuguese delicacies and irresistible sweet treats there’s The Voyage pastry shop. The hotel also has world-class amenities, including a stylish bar and lush urban courtyard perfect for private events, allowing guests to unwind and enjoy all the city has to
