Located in the centre of Funchal, Barceló Oldtown is a luxurious base to explore Madeira.
Each building that makes up the hotel has its own story, one being the former family abode of the Blandys, founders of the Madeiran wine trade and another an embroidery factory that supplied the nearby shops. Now under one roof, the hotel remains faithful to the original architecture and the façade has been meticulously restored in homage to the rich cultural heritage of Funchal.
The crowning jewel of Barceló Funchal Oldtown is its rooftop, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and the marina. This stunning terrace, featuring a refreshing plunge pool and a stylish bar, serves as an exquisite setting for enjoying evening cocktails or simply relishing the vibrant atmosphere of Funchal's bustling farmers' market.
If you can tear yourself away from the roof terrace, you’ll find yourself in the centre of Funchal. Stroll along the picturesque seafront promenade, explore historic streets adorned with colorful flowers, and savor delectable Madeiran cuisine at local restaurants. Don't miss the enchanting Monte Palace Tropical Garden, the vibrant Mercado dos Lavradores (Farmers' Market), and the chance to taste the world-famous Madeira wine.
To refuel Barceló Funchal Oldtown offers two distinct restaurant concepts giving guests a flavour of Funchal. A Bordadeira restaurant – whose name and interiors are inspired by the Madeiran tradition of embroidery – serves an a la carte menu with international influence.
Dine alfresco at Noz Café, which transports guests to Laurisilva Forest, to indulge in local-inspired dishes whilst shaded by canopies of trees and Funchal flora and fauna.
The building’s 111 guestrooms feature embroidery and wicker basketry furnishings. Beautifully decorated rooms with touches of Madeira’s history
Maintain your regime while on holiday at the fully equipped fitness room.
