Overlooking the south bank of the Douro River, the Hilton Porto Gaia—opened in 2021—has joined EXTENDAM’s portfolio through a strategic partnership with Highgate.
A rare premium asset in a fast-growing market, the hotel features spacious rooms, extensive wellness spaces, strong brand positioning and a balanced leisure–corporate appeal.
In his interview with Hospitality Investor, Maxime Durand, Investment Director – Hospitality, highlights the strategic rationale: “It’s a landmark transaction in a growing market with long-term value and potential. You’re buying something really rare, at a decent price, with room to do even better in the future”.
For EXTENDAM, Porto’s rising international attractiveness, paired with Highgate’s operational expertise, creates a strong foundation for value creation.
This acquisition reflects the group’s continued expansion across Europe and its ambition to grow within the premium and luxury urban hotel segment.
