What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Opened in 2023, Boutique Hotel Teatro's interior decor leans heavily on regency, but there are a lot of modern elements, too, including double-glazed windows, which will come in handy during the boisterous festival season.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Rua da Esperança runs through Angra's UNESCO-listed centre, with local restaurants and the waterfront just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Bedrooms are styled with Regency antiques and timber salvaged from island shipwrecks. Double-glazed windows shut out street festival noise.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A stone fountain feeds the courtyard plunge pool, tiled in checkered mosaics beside dark timber decking and loungers.
The baths
Dual wood-paneled whirlpool tubs sit beneath a crystal chandelier, steps from a Finnish dry sauna and Turkish bath.
At the table
A circular buffet sits beneath a brass chandelier each morning, and an intimate lobby counter pours evening drinks.
How it began
The local Evangelho family spent seven years restoring the property, naming it after the century-old Teatro Angrense a few doors down.
