Hilton Worldwide announces partnership with European Tour
Extending its commitment to golf across the EMEA and APAC, 2015 will see the world’s largest hospitality company join forces with the European Tour.
At the forefront of this partnership sits Conrad Algarve, the luxury hotel in Quinta do Lago, home to a range of exclusive golf experiences.
Sponsored by Hilton Worldwide, The Algarve’s very own Ricardo Santos, who resides in Vilamoura may be spotted teeing off at one of Conrad Algarve’s neighbouring courses featuring pristine fairways which run alongside a nature reserve of Ria Formosa, reaching to the Atlantic coast. The partnership also sees the sponsorship of the British born Tyrrell Hatton whose 2014 European Tour amassed five top-10 finished.

Golf & Conrad Algarve
Ideally situated between two of the best golf resorts in the Algarve, Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, and just 15 minutes from Vilamoura, the 154 room, the Conrad Algarve Hotel is the perfect base for golfing in the region. This contemporary luxury hotel sits in the Quinta do Lago resort, within the Ria Formosa National Park, and is just a short distance from unspoilt beaches and stunning golf courses.
Quinta do Lago itself offers three outstanding 18-holechampionship courses - Quinta do Lago North and South courses and Laranjal – matched by outstanding practice and coaching facilities at the world’s only Paul McGinley Academy. Vale do Lobo offers two outstanding courses - the Royal and the Ocean - both of which take holes from the original Sir Henry Cotton design of 1962. It also contains what is commonly regarded as Europe’s most photographed golf hole: the cliff-top, par-three, 16th on the Royal. Just 238 yards off the back tees, it is emblematic of golf in the Algarve. And, on the western side of the Ria Formosa, lies the stunning San Lorenzo, regarded by many as the finest course in Portugal and one of the best in Europe. At Vilamoura there are seven quality courses and, slightly further afield, the outstanding Monte Rei was Portugal’s first Jack Nicklaus Signature course. With such outstanding golf on the doorstep - and with the facility to offer special preferential rates - the Conrad Algarve is ideally situated for the travelling golfer. It also offers a golf concierge service, in the guise of PGA pro Fernando Nogueira. Golfers can choose from either an à la carte golf experience tailored to their individual requirements or from a pre-prepared list of activities.
