The prestigous Portuguese hotel group Pestana has announced its latest hotel opening at a site near Portimão’s international autodrome.
The Pestana Algarve Race Hotel & Resort opened on August 1st in a management deal with racetrack owner Parkalgar offering guests a ‘different Algarve experience.’
The 75-room hotel is supported by 96 apartments and guests can enjoy using the spa, restaurant, bars, outdoor pools, the health club and the games room.
Pestana is keen to promote the hotel as an activity break venue as well as a place to stay when there is racing at the track, suggesting guests might like to use the nearby facilities for a test drive, to use the go-karting track, go mountain biking, horseback riding, visit local vineyards, walk around the hills geocaching or simply hiking.
The hotel was completed with €10 million assigned to the project as part of Parkalgar’s deal with creditors.
The Pestana Algarve Race Hotel & Resort is the hotel group’s 13th hotel in the Algarve after completing recently the Pestana Alvor South Beach.
The Portuguese owned international group aims to open 20 new hotels by 2020 at a cost of €170 million.
