Overview
The Hotel
A pink Victorian-era palace above the Atlantic in Funchal, host to royalty and heads of state since 1891, with subtropical gardens that step down the cliffside toward the sea.
Good to Know
Portugal
Lisbon's grand institutions, the Alentejo's cork-oak estates, and the Algarve's clifftop resorts — Portugal rewards those who look past the obvious.

Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
