The classification means that the property has moved from a Forbes Recommended Hotel in 2024 to a Forbes 4 Star Hotel in 2025.

To obtain this distinction, Conrad Algarve had to carry out work and intensive training programs for all employees, in order to meet the requirements requested by the Forbes Travel Guide team of inspectors.

“Forbes Travel Guide is the leading authority for evaluating excellent hospitality and the Conrad Algarve not only continues to be part of this illustrious annual star rating list but has achieved a new distinction, moving from a recommended hotel to a 4-star category. We could not be more proud of this recognition which reflects our efforts to offer the most perfect hospitality experience to our guests”, says Marco Cogollos, General Manager of Conrad Algarve

“Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Award winners exemplify excellence in hospitality,” said Amanda Frasier, president of standards and ratings for Forbes Travel Guide. “This year’s list continues to reflect the changing landscape of luxury, with properties that set the standard for authentic experiences, offering unparalleled amenities, enhanced well-being and delivering unforgettable moments. We are thrilled to recognise their dedication to creating truly world-class travel for today’s discerning guests.”
