Conrad Algarve

What the classifiers highlight

Almancil's Conrad takes cues from 18th-century Portuguese architecture with a modern twist, its light-filled lobby built around a large dome, and holds 154 rooms starting at 484 square feet with separate rain showers and soaking tubs. Forbes singles out the Infinity Penthouse's own rooftop pool under a retractable glass roof and Gusto, where chef Heinz Beck cooks Mediterranean menus.
