We made the decision to host the 2023 World CBD Awards in Portugal at the Palacio Estoril Hotel for many reasons, other than choosing a practical location that is middle ground for most of the industry; we chose this venue because of the atmosphere, culture and most importantly ease of transportation and logistics.

The Palacio Estoril is one of the most traditional and elegant venues in the whole of Portugal, located on the beautiful coast of Lisbon; this amazing building was established over 90 years ago and still to this day embraces the culture and shows it’s historical beauty within every room. This venue provides the best value for our guests, the perfect environment to network and build international relationships.
