BOOK NOWIn-Hotel Amenities & Services
This is your typical, stylish city hotel. Chic in every way from the facilities like the restaurants and infinity swimming pool, to the room decor and interior design.
FREE WIFI
2 SWIMMING POOLS
SATELLITE TV

ROOFTOP BAR
B&B AND HALF BOARD AVAILABLE
Swimming Pools
One of the main attractions here is the rooftop swimming pool which overlooks the city and offers stunning sunsets from its infinity style outlook. Up here there's also an ample selection of sun loungers with parasols which have just as impressive outlook. There is also an indoor pool in the spa area.
Entertainment
This isn't your typical Algarve holiday hotel. Being in a city centre location, it's much more orientated towards a sunny city break style stay, so don't expect all the daytime and evening entertainment you'd find at a large all inclusive resort. Instead, you'll find a carefully selected range of guest DJs playing live sets at the bar.
Spa Facilities
For those who want to relax, guests can enjoy free access to the calming spa which has all you need to unwind, including a sauna, Turkish bath, four sensory showers, a heated pool with jet massagers and the relaxation are which has loungers too. Open from 9am - 1pm for everyone (4 years old and above only), and from 2pm - 7pm for guests over 13 years old, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind on a cloudy day, or before you have to head to the airport for your flight home. A range of treatments are also available.
Fitness Centre
To compliment the spa, there's also a 24 hour gym to make sure you keep up with your fitness routine while you're away. The fitness centre has good selection of cardio machines, resistance weights and free weights.
Kids' Clubs
Although the hotel welcomes families it is quite adult orientated. As such there aren't any kids' clubs here, so if you need to keep the children entertained, it might be worth looking at more typical holiday resort style hotels further along the coast in places like Vilamoura, Albufeira or Lagos. However, there is a small playground here for a little activity for the kids.
Food & Drink
Room Only and Bed & Breakfast
You can book two types of board basis here, room only and bed & breakfast. Breakfast is served in the Forno Nero restaurant. Typically a pizzeria, this restaurant in the hotel lobby area also serves up a delicious buffet breakfast. A la carte options are also available.

Ristorante Forno Nero
Located in the lobby, Forno Nero is the Italian pizzeria. Open from 4pm - 11pm, you'll find a wonderful range of pizzas and Italian dishes on the menu. In the morning, this is also the place you can enjoy breakfast.
Hábito Restaurant

The views here are also worth dining for, so when you book, be sure to ask for a table by the window to make the most of the location and the sunset views.
H.Bar
Up on the roof you'll find H.Bar.

Things To Do
Sightseeing
A short city break in Faro is perfect for combining a bit of culture, some great food, a spot of history and plenty of sun. Take to the streets to explore the city, being sure not to miss the popular Faro marina and Faro Old Town, which is home to the beautiful Faro Town Hall. The hotel is within walking distance of most of the main sights and attractions.
Day Trips & Excursions
It's easy to jump on the train in Faro and head along the coast to explore more of the Algarve. Take a trip out to places like Albufeira, Ferragudo and Portimao in the west, or journey east to discover towns like Olhao, Tavira and Monte Gordo on the Spanish border.
Beach
Despite being close the coast, the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa (Ria Formosa Natural Park) separates Faro from the nearest beaches. Take a taxi back towards the airport and spend a relaxing day at Praia de Faro for a day on the soft sandy beach here. Other golden sand beaches to take a look at include Praia da Quinta do Lago, or the spectacular Praia da Armona which is actually a boat ride away from Olhao. of course, that's if you can drag yourself away from the infinity swimming pool.
Golf
The Algarve is home to lots of beautifully designed golf courses, running the breadth of the region. Faro can be the perfect place to base yourself if you're visiting a couple of golf courses in different areas, like Vilamoura and Monte Rei.

Our Review
Wow! We absolutely love this hotel. This is a gorgeous 5-star hotel which is perfect for a sunny city break. Although kids are welcome and there are rooms available for 2 adults and 2 children, it's very much a "grown up" hotel that it better suited to adult friendly city breaks in Faro. Spending time up at the rooftop pool and bar is a must, especially in the evening as the sun is setting, although the location is perfect in central Faro for exploring the city. Definitely worth considering for a celebration or just spending a romantic 2 or 3 days in the Algarve.
