Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton, has opened in the beautiful coastal town only 28 kilometers from Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon.

The latest addition to the brand, Legacy Hotel Cascais is an intimate 59-room hotel that blends modern distinct design with opulent glamor, a nod to the area’s famed past as a summer retreat for royalty and European nobility, dating back to 1890 with King Louis 1.

The property is located in the heart of Cascais, a short walk away from the old town and long beaches of the Portuguese Riviera. Must-see attractions include The Conde de Castro Guimaraes Museum, Boca do Inferno, Palácio da Cidadela de Cascais, and the Cascais Marina. The Atlantic resort town is also a hotspot for surfing and sailing, and home to Casino Estoril, which inspired Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, Casino Royale.

Highlights of the property include elegantly-appointed guestrooms, many of which feature balconies overlooking the ocean, indoor and outdoor pools, and Legacy Spa by Wake, which is equipped with three treatment rooms and a sauna as well as a modern fitness center.

Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890 is the signature restaurant at Legacy Hotel Cascais. Its menu blends the traditional dishes of the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi coast with an innovative approach and the best local Portuguese ingredients.

“We are excited to continue to expand our Curio Collection by Hilton brand across Europe, adding hotels in sought-out destinations like Cascais, known for its rich history and picturesque beaches,” said David Kelly, senior vice-president, Continental Europe, Hilton. “Opening as our tenth hotel in Portugal, Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton marks a significant milestone for Hilton, reiterating our confidence and commitment to the Portuguese market, where we have more than doubled our portfolio in the last five years.”

The hotel is the third Curio Collection by Hilton property in Portugal joining Boeira Garden Hotel Porto Gaia, Curio Collection by Hilton and The Emerald House Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton, with the brand set to double its portfolio in 2024 with the opening of Duo Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton later this summer.
