France: Boutique hotel investment platform Bohopo has opened the Mila Porto hotel, its first in Portugal, with two additional hotels under development in the city.
Mila Porto is a 29-room hotel in Porto’s historic Baixa district and marks Bohopo’s entry into Portugal. It is also the second asset in Bohopo’s Mila brand, following Mila Brussels, and the first of three Bohopo assets in Porto.
Bohopo has two additional city-centre assets under development in Porto, with completion expected in 2027.
The opening of Mila Porto follows the launch of Casa Laveni in Milan, bringing Bohopo’s operational portfolio to eight hotels. The group’s wider 11-asset portfolio spans five European markets: Athens, Brussels, Milan, Porto and Paris, with three further assets under development.
Minas Terlidis, co-founder and CEO, Bohopo, said: “Milan and Porto are both highly compelling markets for Bohopo, but for different reasons. Milan is one of Europe’s leading centres of design, fashion, business and culture, while Porto offers a rare combination of historic character, strengthening visitor demand and attractive real estate fundamentals.
“The common thread is our ability to identify prime urban assets, reposition them with discipline and operate them through a scalable model. Casa Laveni and Mila Porto show how Bohopo can transform distinctive buildings into high-quality hospitality products while adding meaningful depth to our European portfolio.”
Patrick Saada, co-founder and non-executive chairman of the board, Bohopo, added: “Across Europe, the boutique hotel market remains highly fragmented, with many well-located assets lacking the capital, operational infrastructure or brand strategy needed to realise their full potential. Bohopo is building the institutional platform for this segment. By acquiring and repositioning small-format city-centre hotels, and by clustering assets in markets where we have strong conviction, we are creating a diversified portfolio designed to deliver long-term growth, operational resilience and attractive risk-adjusted returns.”
Highlights:
- Bohopo has opened Mila Porto, a 29-room boutique hotel in Porto’s Baixa district, marking the company’s entry into Portugal and expansion of its Mila brand.
- The opening follows Mila Brussels and forms part of Bohopo’s strategy to cluster multiple city-centre assets across Porto, with two additional hotels planned for completion in 2027.
- Bohopo is simultaneously expanding its European footprint following the launch of Casa Laveni in Milan, strengthening its repositioning-led boutique hotel investment model.
