Renovation of the current Crowne Plaza Vilamoura – Algarve is expected to begin in November 2026, as the hotel prepares to transition to the InterContinental brand. The reopening is planned for April 2027, according to information released by IHG Hotels & Resorts.
Announced in June 2026, the project involves a full renovation of the existing hotel, marking a new chapter for luxury hospitality in Vilamoura, one of the Algarve’s best-known destinations.
According to the official project information, the future InterContinental Vilamoura Algarve is expected to feature 323 rooms, restaurants, bars, spa and wellness facilities, leisure areas, and dedicated spaces for meetings and events. The hotel is located close to Vilamoura Marina, the beach and several golf courses. This setting places it within an area known for its combination of coastal activities, golf, dining and leisure. The reopening is planned for April 2027, with an initial gradual opening phase. The renovation schedule and opening date may be subject to change.
The transformation of Crowne Plaza Vilamoura into an InterContinental hotel represents a significant development in the area’s hospitality offering. The arrival of an international luxury brand adds to Vilamoura’s tourism infrastructure, although the project alone does not establish that property prices will rise or that real estate demand will increase. Vilamoura continues to attract visitors with its marina, beaches, golf courses and leisure facilities.
