Worldhotels Boosts Portugal Portfolio / A total of twelve Tivoli Hotels & Resorts are now part of Worldhotels

Frankfurt (ots) - Worldhotels, one of the leading groups for
independent upscale hotels, is proud to expand its longstanding
partnership with Portuguese Tivoli Hotels & Resorts. Four additional
hotels in Portugal have joined the group's portfolio, bringing the
total number of Tivoli Hotels in the Worldhotels network to twelve.

The successful partnership began as early as 1978, when the first
Tivoli hotel in Lisbon joined the group. Reflecting back on the 35-
year relationship, Filipe Santiago, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer
of Tivoli Hotels & Resorts, says: "Worldhotels has served us as a
reliable partner during our longstanding partnership, offering us the
best possible support, especially during economically challenging
times. Taking our agreement to the next level was a logical step for
us in our ambition to maximise international business for our
hotels."

Tivoli Hotels & Resorts operates elegantly furnished four and five
star hotels in attractive locations in Portugal and Brazil. With over
80 years of history in the hotel industry, the Tivoli brand focuses
on providing traditional hospitality, combined with excellent service
and first-class quality.

"Tivoli Hotels & Resorts is an internationally renowned luxury
brand and perfectly complements our portfolio of independent upscale
hotels", comments Worldhotels' Chief Marketing Officer, Paulo
Salvador. "Working with the Tivoli group for many years, we take
pride in now representing the group's entire Portuguese portfolio,
offering our guests a greater selection of unique luxury hotels."
