Hilton has announced three new franchise agreements, which will deepen its Portuguese portfolio.

It is introducing properties under the Canopy by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and DoubleTree by Hilton brands.

Hilton EMEA development senior vice-president Patrick Fitzgibbon said: “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.”

The first of these, Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina, is set to provide a boutique hotel experience upon its launch in 2026, through a franchise agreement with Arrow Global Group.

Located 500m from Praia da Vilamoura and in the vicinity of Marina Vilamoura, the property will have 155 rooms.
