Funchal Centre

Savoy Palace

The most dramatic hotel in Funchal, the Savoy Palace occupies a landmark Art Deco tower above the city centre with a rooftop infinity pool that has become Madeira's most-photographed hotel view. The scale and facilities — multiple restaurants, a beach club, a full-service spa — make it the best option for extended stays with complete on-site infrastructure.

Hotel & Spa Castanheiro — Old Town

★ 9.1

Funchal's best hotel in the historic Old Town, Castanheiro occupies a lovingly restored 16th-century building in the cobbled streets of the Zona Velha. The pool carved into the volcanic rock, the excellent spa, and the location amid the painted-door street art and traditional taberna culture make it Madeira's best boutique address.
