"The Algarve city of Faro is no stranger to tourism, but at the time of 3HB Faro’s opening, this kind of urban luxury resort was without local precedent. The location is central, right in the pedestrianized heart of this compact city. And while the phrase “urban resort” is often meant loosely, it’s entirely apt here — witness the rooftop pool, lined with loungers, that looks out not over a beach but over the rooftops of Faro’s city center." - Tablet Hotels
