Faro
With features of Urban Chic, and inserted in the pedestrian area of downtown Faro but without the urban noise of the cities, 3HB Faro aims to complete the prosperity of the city of Faro, with its rooms and suites, and two restaurants – a gourmet in the rooftop and another inspired by Italian cuisine with a more relaxed atmosphere and direct entrance through the pedestrian area of the noble commercial street of Faro. There is also a rooftop bar with stunning views of the outdoor infinity pool that overlooks the city and the Ria Formosa nature park.
Design and interior decoration by Paulo Lobo, who over the years continues to amaze with his touch of magic – namely in the lighting and in the choice and beauty of the materials used. The hotel also has meeting rooms and a SPA with indoor pool, sauna, turkish bath, sensory showers and gym.
Situated less than 15 minutes from Faro International Airport, enjoys a privileged location to explore the Algarve and its multiple experiences! Golf courses, the beauty and diversity of the Algarve beaches, the cities full of history and culture. And many other secrets waiting to be unraveled.

Excellent, friendly designer style hotel in the old town of Faro
Beautiful new hotel with great architectural and interior design. We stayed three nights with teenage kids and all enjoyed it. We were luckily upgraded and one room was a suite so the kids effectively could have two separate bedrooms using the sofa bed.
The Pool area on the roof is a feature with a lovely glass sided infinity pool looking out over the old town. There are two levels of roof terrace and enough loungers/chairs generally though quite a few of the loungers are really chairs that recline - so the actual loungers go quickly! Pool area service from the top floor restaurant bar was fine.
The rooms are lovely with a fresh interior design and beautiful bathrooms. Service was really good and the staff are very friendly and seem happy in their work which helps compared to some hotels.
We ate in the Ground Floor restaurant twice which offers a very wide menu and has an open kitchen - really good. That is also where you have breakfast which so v good.
The top floor restaurant is a Michelin starred affair and seemed pretty quiet - not our kind of menu really. One shame is the pool deck/bar area food service stops around 6pm so you can eat outside on the roof in the evenings. You can drink though.
Faro old town is well worth a visit - we ate out one night and looked around the shops etc. you can get boa trips to the nearby beaches.
All in all a great hotel for a weekend break or part of a longer holiday and only 15 mins from the airport.

THE best Faro location
3HB is excellent value. Responsive team, prompt replies to our request for arrival transfer to be arranged. Spacious room with good amenities. Very close to town, short east walk. Front desk assisted with clothes to be forwarded to Australia after we realized we'd left them in the room. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend 3HB Faro.

Certainly a 5-star hotel – I would 100% return!
I absolutely loved my stay here. The hotel was exceptionally clean and my room was spectacular spacious, beautifully decorated in warm, cosy tones and incredibly comfortable. I had such a good night’s sleep!
There are beautiful scents around every corner, which gives the whole hotel a luxurious feel. My bathroom had Molton Brown products and fresh, fluffy white towels, and I loved the little extras in the room. Coffee, tea, soft drinks and water were all complimentary and replenished daily.
The staff were fantastic. Alexander and Ariana on reception were both so friendly, helpful and informative, and Juliana from the cleaning team was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and my waiter Paulo, extremely helpful and friendly. Everyone I came across made me feel genuinely welcome.
It was a short stay, so I didn’t get the chance to try the restaurants, but I did have breakfast. There was a great variety of hot and cold options and it was definitely worth the price. The hot food wasn’t quite for me, though, and I think a few more hot buffet options would make the breakfast even better.
The rooftop pool area was one of my favourite parts peaceful, spotless and such a lovely place to relax.
The location is fantastic too, right in the heart of the square and surrounded by shops and restaurants, making it really easy to explore and find somewhere to eat.
Beautiful hotel, fantastic location, lovely staff and lots of thoughtful touches. I only wish I’d stayed longer!
100% would stay again. ❤️

A fantastic stay in 3HB Faro
Just lovely from start to finish. Beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms a high standard and cleaned, refreshed and fridge topped up daily. Amazing roof top area and infinity pool the best! Perfect location in the old town. Surrounded by great restaurants and cafes. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful
Our stay at this hotel was wonderful from start to finish. Our room on the third floor was spacious, beautifully maintained and incredibly comfortable. The bed, linen and pillows all felt properly luxurious, and the Molton Brown products in the bathroom were a lovely touch. Tea, coffee and water were also replenished throughout our stay, along with a thoughtful turndown service each evening, which we really appreciated.
The rooftop pool, bar and restaurant created such a relaxing atmosphere, and breakfast each morning was a real feast with plenty of choice. I especially loved the chia seeds and coconut milk options.
What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay. A special thank you to Ricardo, all the reception staff, the restaurant team, and Willian at the spa, who was always so friendly and welcoming.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the old town, surrounded by shops, bars, cafés and restaurants, while still feeling calm and comfortable.
We absolutely loved staying here and would happily return. It was also incredibly convenient, only around 15 minutes from Faro Airport and about €8 by Uber.
