Barcelo Funchal Old Town is a lovely five star family hotel in the heart of Funchal in the south of Madeira. Recently opened, it is modern and bright throughout with lots of natural light spilling into the corridors around the hotel. 

The hotel was once an ancient embroidery factory and there are still signs of this throughout the hotel. In A Bordadeira Restaurant you’ll find original paintings, while in the Lobby Bar, you’ll find a structure that is over 100 years old. In each of the rooms there are ancient pictures from Madeira to really bring your stay to life.

Head to the rooftop to enjoy a dip in the pool or your favourite cocktail at the bar. Take in the views of the city, the perfect place to watch the sun set. Or make your way to the pebble beach which is just 500m from the hotel. 

For an enjoyable stay in this thriving Portuguese city, look no further than Barcelo Funchal Old Town.
