Closed since 2010, iconic Hotel Turismo da Guarda to be reborn as a luxury unit, with Spa and two swimming pools

Expresso15 September 2026 at 10:16

Hotel Turismo da Guarda, closed since 2010, will be reopened as a luxury unit. The lease contract for the iconic hotel has already been signed, marking the return of a historic landmark in the city after 16 years of closure.

The Lince Hotels Group is responsible for the hotel's reactivation project. The hotel chain will invest between 15 and 20 million euros in the transformation of the building, which will be fully renovated to become a high-end establishment.

The future Hotel Turismo da Guarda will include several exclusive amenities, namely a Spa and two swimming pools. These features position the hotel as a luxury offering in the Guarda region.

Why this matters

The closure of Hotel Turismo da Guarda 16 years ago left a gap in the city's hotel offerings. Now, residents and tourists will benefit from luxury infrastructure in the region, and the investment of 15 to 20 million euros should boost the local economy.
