Estoril welcomes InterContinental
InterContinental Hotels and Resorts has opened InterContinental Estoril, the brand’s first hotel on the Portuguese Riviera.
Located on the Estoril coast, 27 kilometres west of Lisbon, the hotel features an outdoor swimming pool with ocean views as well as tranquil gardens, a wellness centre with Ritual Spa, Club InterContinental and a private terrace. All 59 guestrooms are elegant and modern, with sleek furniture and design features.
Tom Rowntree, Vice President InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Europe at IHG comments: “We are extremely proud to be opening our first InterContinental hotel on the Estoril Coast. Our guests love our hotels for their outstanding restaurants, incredible locations and cosmopolitan design, all of which are perfectly encapsulated in InterContinental Estoril. We have strong momentum behind the InterContinental brand at the moment having recently opened InterContinental Lisbon and signed both InterContinental Lyon – Hotel Dieu and InterContinental Bordeaux – Le Grand Hotel this year.”
Estoril plays host to a number of international sports events and golf courses, boasting a number of national parks and beaches, all within a short walking distance from the hotel. The destination is also famous for its local seafood specialities, which can be experienced in the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Lota.do. For pre- or post-dinner drinks, the Atlantico Lounge offers a cocktail menu to be enjoyed alongside views of the open Atlantic waters.
Giuseppe Vincelli, General Manager at InterContinental Estoril says, “Estoril is a hidden gem with a rich cultural heritage and local charm that has long been enjoyed by Europe’s elite travellers. I believe our hotel offers something truly special thanks to its coastal location and extraordinary views. Our guests will enjoy walking along the promenade to our neighbouring village, Cascais and exploring the beautiful beaches – not to mention the world-class golf courses nearby.”
InterContinental Estoril joins 13 IHG hotels in Portugal, including the recently opened InterContinental Lisbon. The hotel is owned by Margem Encantada Invest Turisticos and operates under a management agreement with IHG.
