IHG unveils new hotel in Porto (PT)

IHG Hotels & Resort has signed its latest luxury and lifestyle hotel, Casa da Companhia in Porto, Portugal. The newest addition to the company’s youngest brand, Vignette Collection, is set to open in late 2022. With Portugal a key growth market for IHG, this latest signing further strengthens the company’s Luxury and Lifestyle presence in the country, joining properties such as InterContinental Porto, InterContinental Lisbon and InterContinental Cascais-Estoril. Comprising 40 luxury suites, the hotel is one of the most prestigious buildings on Rua das Flores (Flowers Street) and the interiors of this historic building have been restored to their original 18th-century design for the hotel's re-opening as a Vignette Collection property.

 

With its high-end boutique feel, Casa da Companhia provides authentic luxury within Porto’s picturesque Clérigos district. Featuring a spa, fitness suite, indoor and outdoor pools and an outdoor terrace, the hotel is ideal for guests wanting to make the most of their stay and enjoy a serene ambience within the city. Furthermore, the hotel’s signature restaurant is set to be a standout for guests and locals alike, with a freshly revived menu currently being developed. The hotel also marks the third partnership between IHG Hotels & Resorts and MERCAN Group.

 

Commenting on this signing, Willemijn Geels, VP Development, Europe at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to be announcing Porto’s first Vignette Collection signing this year, expected by the end of 2022. The Vignette Collection is a portfolio of luxurious, distinctive, elegant and intriguing properties – characteristics all of which Casa da Companhia certainly exudes. The new hotel is in one of the best locations in Porto, in the heart of the city. We are excited to welcome guests not only to this fantastic destination but to experience Vignette Collection first-hand. Portugal remains a hugely important growth market for us and Porto, of course, has so much to offer travellers, being easily accessible from central Europe and at the fore of modern Portuguese culture. We are particularly proud to be breathing new life into a beautiful heritage building and guests are sure to love the newly refreshed facilities at Casa da Companhia.”
