IHG announces the signing of Kimpton Lisbon, the first Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants property in the Portuguese capital. Set to open its doors in early 2026, the boutique luxury hotel marks the second Kimpton to come to Portugal, following the signing of Kimpton Algarve São Rafael Atlántico in late 2023.
Kimpton Lisbon adds to IHG’s fast-growing luxury & lifestyle portfolio, now the second largest in the world, and reinforces its focus on its growing presence in the country. In the luxury & lifestyle segment, IHG operates six open hotels and has a further seven in development for brands including Six Senses, Hotel Indigo, and Vignette Collection’s recently opened Convent Square Lisbon and Casa da Companhia in Porto.
Signed under a franchise agreement with Real Hotel Group, the hotel will be reimagined as an excellent representation of the Kimpton brand, with 141-guestrooms and public areas redesigned to take inspiration from the light and colours of the city. From unique, design-forward spaces featuring inspiring high-quality finishes to seasonally-inspired restaurants and bars – including a rooftop bar and pool – the hotel will seamlessly cater guests looking to engage in new cultures, cuisines or conversations.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, Kimpton Lisbon will become an ideal launch point for exploration, with key tourist attractions in walking distance including the Eduardo VII Park, Marquês de Pombal Square and Avenida Liberdade, as well as museums and the city’s bustling restaurants and bar scene.
IHG acquired Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in 2018 and has since spearheaded its expansion into Europe and beyond. Kimpton Lisbon joins a portfolio of eight Kimpton hotels across the UK and continental Europe and forms part of Kimpton’s global portfolio of 78 hotels across 12 countries, representing 13,721-bedrooms.
IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates 20 hotels across seven brands in Portugal, including Six Senses, InterContinental, Vignette Collection, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Iberostar.
