Starwood Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury Collection reopens Pine Cliffs Hotel, a Luxury Collection Resort, Algarve following an 18-month renovation. “The spectacular transformation of the iconic Pine Cliffs is testament to the collaborative and longstanding relationship we enjoy with United Investments Portugal. This is without a doubt one of Starwood’s most significant developments this year, and ensures this very special resort firmly remains the definitive luxury destination in the Algarve for generations to come,” said Michael Wale, president, Starwood Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. All 217 guestrooms and public spaces boast new renovations, inspired by Portuguese heritage and history, including hand-painted tiles and unique headboards in every guestroom. Map reproductions and historic art grace the lobby, with terracotta floors throughout. The resort sits on 170 acres and offers 11 restaurants and bars, including poolside and beach-side eateries, a steakhouse and health-conscious outlet. The destination spa, Serenity The Art of Well Being, is 10,000 square feet of indigenous, holistic treatments. Guests can also discover six swimming pools, a large children’s club, tennis academy, nine-hole golf course, gardens, retail and 23,000 square feet of event space. “Pine Cliff’s renovation truly is a cornerstone in The Luxury Collection brand’s investment effort to renovate some of the most iconic hotels around the globe. We are thrilled to deliver enhanced accommodations in the Algarve, a perennial favorite of global explorers, to our guests,” said Meredith Dichter, global brand director, The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts.
