Portugal Hotels & Chains Report 2023

The 2023 edition of the Portugal Hotels & Chains Report offers an extensive analysis of the dynamic hospitality industry in Portugal, emphasizing the remarkable post-pandemic recovery and the challenges faced by the sector. The report also highlights the increasing interest from international investors and the leading role of domestic hotel chains. Portugal is a vibrant hospitality market, contributing over 40 billion Euros to the economy, almost 16% of GDP. Portugal is also unusual in that the top hotel chains are locals, for those of you following our Chains Reports across Europe, beating Accor into third place is highly unusual. Over the last year, a remarkable post pandemic resurgence is evident. Robust demand has propelled most markets to exceed pre-pandemic levels, allowing for unprecedented rate increases that have pleasantly surprised property owners.
