The Portuguese capital is this year set to open a total of 21 new hotels, having already seen 12 new hotels welcome guests over the first eight months of the year.

According to figures released by newspaper Diário de Notícias this morning, the number of hotels has risen from 163 in 2014 to 175 this year, with that number set to rise to 184 before the end of the year.

The need for more hotels in Lisbon has become increasingly apparent, and was last year the city which recorded the biggest annual growth in terms of nights spent in hotels.
