Tras-os-Montes, Chaves, Portugal

The Grande Hotel de Vidago, inaugurated in 1874 and recognized as one of Portugal’s most prominent historic hotels, now presents a rare opportunity for rehabilitation and investment in a destination that combines nature, heritage, and sophistication. Located in Vidago, just one hour from Porto Airport and near the iconic Vidago Palace, the thermal baths, and the golf course, this building preserves the original grandeur of its architecture and the distinct aura of a past marked by elegance and exclusivity. With a gross built area of 2,335 m², set on a 3,870 m² plot and spread over four floors with 55 rooms, the property offers a solid and versatile foundation for high-quality projects—from a signature boutique hotel to a wellness retreat, a premium senior residence, or a landmark cultural and tourist space.

Its scenic setting, combined with growing demand for wellness, nature, and boutique tourism, reinforces the extraordinary potential for value creation. The building’s structural integrity, historical authenticity, and proximity to one of the country’s most recognized luxury resorts provide unique conditions for a distinctive project that respects the existing legacy while elevating it to a new level of exclusivity. Additionally, there is the possibility of acquiring an adjacent plot with 14,926 m² of buildable area, suitable for subdivision, further expanding opportunities for investors seeking scale, expansion, or an integrated development.

This is a property that transcends conventional notions of investment. The Grande Hotel de Vidago represents a rare convergence of heritage, exclusivity, and vision—a dormant icon offering the unique opportunity to transform history into the future, tradition into distinction, and potential into legacy. Here, every decision matters. Every detail counts. The result could become a new landmark in Northern Portugal, designed to endure.
