Tras-os-Montes, Chaves, Portugal

The former Grande Hotel de Vidago, inaugurated in 1874 and a symbol of historic Portuguese hospitality, now presents a unique opportunity for acquisition and development in one of the most sought-after destinations in Northern Portugal. With four floors, 55 rooms, and 2,335 m² of gross area, the building preserves its original grandeur while benefiting from a prime location just one hour from Porto, near the Vidago Palace, the thermal baths, and the golf course.

The main highlight of this offering lies in the extensive adjacent land of 18,796 m², which significantly enhances the project's potential. Of this total, 14,926 m² is buildable and already structured for subdivision, allowing the creation of a large-scale, architecturally coherent development. The distribution of the construction areas — 1,870 m² on the main plot and 13,056 m² on the additional plots — opens the door to an integrated, expandable, and highly valuable concept. This territorial component distinguishes the property on the market, enabling the development of premium villas, residential units, support structures, or even a full resort, complementing and enhancing the historic building.

The natural setting, the growing demand for wellness tourism and boutique hospitality, and the proximity to one of the country’s most recognized luxury resorts all reinforce the attractiveness of this investment. The structural solidity of the former hotel, combined with its heritage identity and potential for significant expansion, allows for a distinctive project that blends tradition with modernity.

More than just a property, this is a rare platform to create a landmark destination: from a boutique hotel with residential components to a health and longevity retreat, a signature resort, or a high-impact cultural project. The next chapter of the Grande Hotel de Vidago can now be reimagined by those seeking to develop something exceptional and enduring.
