Amarello Hotel Praia Santo André, Tapestry Collection by Hilton Celebrates Its First Anniversary on the Alentejo Coast

One year after opening its doors, Amarello Hotel Praia Santo André, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, celebrates its first anniversary, marking an important milestone for both the hotel and Mercan Properties. As the company's first hospitality project on Portugal's Alentejo Coast, the hotel has quickly established itself as a destination that combines contemporary comfort with the authenticity of one of the country's most distinctive regions.

Located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Santo André Lagoon Nature Reserve, the four-star hotel was designed to reflect the landscapes, traditions, and character of the Alentejo. From its architecture and interiors to the guest experience, every detail celebrates the natural beauty and cultural identity that define the region.

Over the past year, Amarello Hotel Praia Santo André, Tapestry Collection by Hilton has welcomed guests from around the world seeking a relaxing coastal retreat while exploring one of Portugal's most authentic destinations. The opening of Salgo, the hotel's new restaurant, further strengthened this connection to the region by showcasing local flavors with a menu inspired by the freshest fish and regional ingredients.

Guest satisfaction has also played an important role in the hotel's successful first year. Strong ratings across leading travel platforms - including 8.6/10 on Booking.com, 8.4/10 on Expedia, 3.3/5 on Tripadvisor, and 4.4/5 on Google - reflect the positive experiences shared by visitors, who frequently praise the hotel's privileged location, modern facilities, attentive service, comfortable accommodations, and high-quality dining.

Less than a year after its opening, the hotel also received industry recognition with a nomination for Best Four-Star Hotel at the Publituris Portugal Travel Awards 2026, highlighting the project's quality and the dedication of the team behind it, operated by AHM - Ace Hospitality Management.

As Amarello Hotel Praia Santo André, Tapestry Collection by Hilton celebrates its first anniversary, this milestone reflects Mercan Properties' continued commitment to developing hospitality projects that combine international standards with authentic local experiences, creating lasting value for guests, investors, and the destinations where they operate.
