Curator’s statement
In March of 2024, I was able to tour the stunning W Hotel in the Algarve region of Portugal. Every detail was considered as this hotel was constructed and so tastefully designed. This property is versatile to welcome couples, friends and families. I am looking forward to returning to the W to experience everything it has to offer, from direct beach access to the expansive pool deck.
