Conrad Algarve Opens in Portugal

Designed for today's savvy and sophisticated traveller, the contemporary 154 guestroom hotel is the latest addition to the Conrad portfolio and allows guests to enjoy ‘The Luxury Of Being Yourself'.

The luxurious resort offers guests a stylish getaway in this exclusive area of Portugal. Located in the coastal region of the Algarve, set in the Ria Formasa National Park, the hotel is just a short distance from unspoilt beaches and popular golf courses. Conrad Algarve promises guests a bespoke experience with a discreet yet engaging service in a resort that offers a genuine reflection of the local culture.

Spread over six floors, each of the 154 exquisite guestrooms provides luxurious comfort along with the latest technology in a spacious, relaxing environment. Striking architectural design has been teamed with a modern interior and the hotel has collaborated with internationally-renowned architectural firm Sigma, as well as distinguished Portuguese interior designer, Miguel Cancio Martins. A Moorish theme influences the hotel's design, which has been carefully constructed in the form of an 18th Century Portuguese palace, with features including bespoke artwork and lighting.

In addition to the contemporary-designed accommodation options, Conrad Algarve offers guests a host of dining experiences to enjoy. The property is a gastronomic haven for guests and locals, with globally-acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck taking up the helm of the lively open plan signature restaurant, Gusto, which fuses contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with Scandinavian-inspired design.

In addition, the chic Lago Lounge offers a stylish indoor and outdoor space serving the very best champagne, classic cocktails and Sri Lankan teas. The modern Portuguese cuisine at Louro restaurant encourages guests to enjoy fresh food inspired by the Portuguese culinary heritage whilst the South American-inspired Dado provides a lively setting with private dining pods and an extensive cocktail menu. Guests can also enjoy the poolside Sereno for seasonal fresh fruit and artisan ice creams or the sports bar, Tempo.
