Bermuda-based Orient Express Hotels has checked out of mainland Portugal with the sale of the Lapa Palace hotel.
The 109-room hotel, in Lisbon, southwest Portugal, was bought by a residential developer for €29.4 million, 22 times the hotel's 2008 EBITDA.
However, Orient Express still has a presence in the country with the 163-room Reid's Palace Hotel on the island of Madeira.
