Holiday Inn Beja is an international-standard hotel project located in the city of Beja—an administrative and cultural hub in the Alentejo region, an emerging destination with strong growth potential in Portugal.
The project is developed by Mercan Group, a group with extensive experience in hospitality investment and residency-by-investment programs, and operated by IHG Hotels & Resorts under the globally recognized Holiday Inn brand.
