Rooftop moods above Faro’s old town

Occidental Faro sets a refined, tranquil tone with modern, serene spaces made for an urban stay with character. Evenings naturally drift upward, where a rooftop restaurant pairs avant garde technique with Mediterranean and Portuguese flavors in a well kept setting. Come morning, a daily fresh buffet breakfast sets an easy pace before the city calls.

  • Rooftop pool time

    Swim, sunbathe, and reset in a solarium with panoramic Faro views.

  • Dining above the skyline

    Rooftop Mediterranean Portuguese menus meet bold technique in a polished setting.

The rooftop was great with fab views of the harbour and breakfast was good. The room was basic but comfortable. The pool is quite small and can get a little overcrowded. Excellent spot for visiting Faro. Don’t miss the boat trip on the Ria Formosa. Really worth visiting .

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was superb. Clean, air conditioned, smart, spacious and well equipped. A lovely breakfast with a great view across the marina. The swimming pool is small, but great for cooling off. A small gym, but again great for a few people at a time. The hotel is in a great location. The shuttle to the beach was excellent and really good to be able to hire a bed at the beach club in advance. The only thing missing was good coffee in the rooms. But otherwise it was a perfect stay.

Centrally located hotel within easy walking distance to town centre. Decent breakfast (special shoutout to the guy who made the omlette!). The rooms were a decent size and clean. Only complaint is that there was an odd smell in the corridors.
