Curio Collection by Hilton Debuts in the Heart of Cascais

CASCAIS, Portugal — Today Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the opening of its newest European property, Legacy Hotel Cascais, Curio Collection by Hilton – marking the latest addition to its rapidly growing boutique collection brand. The intimate 59-room hotel perfectly blends modern distinct design with opulent glamour, a nod to the area’s famed past and regal heritage as a much-loved summer retreat of royalty and European nobility, dating back to 1890 with King Louis I.

Situated in the heart of Cascais, the hotel is just a short walk away from the rich culture of the old town and the stunning long beaches of the Portuguese Riviera, with plenty for guests to enjoy all year round thanks to the region’s mild temperatures.

Alongside both indoor and outdoor pools, the hotel also offers a tranquil spa escape for guests to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.
