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

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 11:37

Hotel Turismo da Guarda, closed since 2010, will reopen as a luxury hotel unit. The lease contract for the iconic hotel has already been signed, marking the beginning of a new chapter for this building that has been closed for 16 years.

The Lince Hotels Group will be responsible for the rehabilitation and operation of the hotel. The transformation will include the construction of a Spa and two swimming pools, elements that will reinforce the luxury positioning of the unit.

The planned investment for this operation is between 15 and 20 million euros. This amount will allow for the recovery of a building that has become a symbol of abandonment in the center of Guarda, returning it to tourist activity.

Why this matters

The reopening of this iconic hotel will have a direct impact on the local economy of Guarda, creating jobs and boosting the tourism sector in the region. This investment of 15 to 20 million euros represents the recovery of a building that has been vacant for over a decade, contributing to the enhancement of the city's hotel heritage.
