With nearly 3 decades of existence, the Vila Galé network currently has twenty seven hotels, including twenty in Portugal, from its North to its South, and seven in Brazil, all of them with a strategic and privileged location, which translates in a total of 6.476 bedrooms, 13.068 beds, and 2500 staff members.
Great part of its success is due to the quality of its product and the professionalism of its teams - aspiring to an economic growth that is sustainable, and socially and environmentally responsible; while seeking to be "Always close to you"; as well as the close connection between all of them, making a cohesive team who are strongly passionate about hospitality and national tourism. The capital investment in Vila Galé S.A. is all Portuguese, and is divided between Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, José Silvestre Lavrador, Maria Helena Jorge and FCR - Grupo CGD Caixa Capital, and the first is the Chairman of the Administrative Board. The company also has holdings in Vila Galé Gest, S.A., the association that manages the Vila Galé Real Estate Investment Fund.
HISTORY
The Vila Galé Group was founded in 1986 by Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, José Silvestre Lavrador and José Ruivo. After graduating from law school and completing his internship in the Ministry of Public Works, the current CEO of the Group, Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, started practicing law dedicated to issues related to the Civil Construction sector.
Hence came the idea to start his own project in that area. José Silvestre Lavrador and José Ruivo owned a meat company, Fricarne, and decided to invest, together with Jorge Rebelo de Almeida, in the hotel segment with the opening of the apartment hotel Vila Galé (now called Vila Galé Atlântico), on the Galé beach in 1988. Between 1990 and 1995, and after the acknowledged success of their first investment the Group expanded in the Algarve area with the opening of Vila Galé Praia followed by Vila Galé Cerro Alagoa in Albufeira and Armação de Pera, respectively.
Between 1996 and 1999 the Group began to expand to other regions with the opening of Vila Galé Cascais, Vila Galé Estoril and Vila Galé Porto. In 2001, it started operating in Brazil with the opening of Hotel Vila Galé Fortaleza, and in Portugal the Group entered a new hotel segment with the opening of the Rural Hotel Vila Galé Clube de Campo in Beja, a 1620 hectares' property where the Group's vineyards and olive groves are located.
The incorporation of Santa Vitória, the Alentejo regional wine brand and top quality olive oil, integrated the Group's agritourism project in 2002, where hospitality, gastronomy and agriculture coexist in perfect harmony with nature. It was also in the year 2002 that the Group achieved the largest number of opening hotels: Vila Galé Ópera in Lisbon, Vila Galé Ericeira and Vila Galé Tavira. Between 2003 and 2010, the Group went through a tremendous growth in Brazil with the opening of Vila Galé Salvador, Vila Galé Marés; and with Vila Galé Eco Resort do Cabo andVila Galé Eco Resort de Angra - two eco resorts where Vila Galé initiated the management of Funcef tourist resorts, the third largest pension fund in Brazil.
In October 2010, Vila Galé Cumbuco opened its doors. During the same period, Portugal was also the target of new investments with the opening of Vila Galé Santa Cruz in Madeira, Vila Galé Lagos and Vila Galé Coimbra. Also during the same period, in particular in 2008, already having 15 hotels in Portugal and 3 in Brazil, the Vila Galé Group was ranked as the best company in the Hospitality and Restaurants sector by EXAME magazine.
The desire to grow has not stopped and, in 2013, Vila Galé Collection Palácio dos Arcos inaugurated, a great milestone in its history as it is their only 5-star hotel in Portugal and the first of a new sub-brand: "Vila Galé Collection". In December 2014, Vila Galé Rio de Janeiro was inaugurated as the last big bet of the group, now holding 7 units in Brazil and, on April 25th 2015, the Group reinforced its presence in Alentejo and in the North with the inauguration of Vila Galé Évora and Vila Galé Douro.
Still very active in Portugal, Vila Galé has two new units in the design phase, Vila Galé Sintra and Vila Galé Tejo. Holding a very solid hotels' base, 20 in Portugal and 7 in Brazil, the Group made another launch in the real estate segment with VG Sun Cumbuco in Brazil, a touristic real estate business which translates into an apartment hotel with 330 luxury apartments. With strategically chosen locations on the beach, in the countryside or in the city, the Vila Galé hotels offer an acknowledged high quality service, where safety and comfort, entertainment and gastronomy offer dream stays on holiday or business.
OPENING EXPECTED: SECOND QUARTER 2020
Known as 'the city that never sleeps', São Paulo, Brazil, is a reference when it comes to entertainment, parties, culture, gastronomy and the labor market. The largest metropolis in Latin America will bear the Portuguese hospitality label when Vila Galé Paulista opens, expectedly in the second quarter of 2020. With the purpose of having even more offer for business travelers, this 108-room unit will have eleven floors. And there will be a Massa Fina restaurant, a Vila Galé Café cafeteria, a health club with gym, sauna, massage room and outdoor pool, open to the public.
With a privileged location in the Bela Cintra area, Vila Galé Paulista is surrounded by a great cultural and leisure offer such as the São Paulo Museum of Art (SPMA), the cultural center Casa das Rosas, the Itaú Cultural Institute, Trianon Park and the Japan House.
