Two Michelin Keys
Michelin

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Avenida do Infante sits just above the waterfront, placing the marina and central Funchal within an easy downhill stroll.
The rooms

The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A seventeenth-floor rooftop infinity pool overlooks the harbour, and heated indoor pools sit beneath illuminated ceilings.
