About the Hotel
Hotel Madeira has occupied its spot on Rua Ivens in central Funchal since 1969, making it one of the longest-established addresses in Madeira's capital. The hotel's outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, and poolside bar tap directly into the island's subtropical character — warm year-round, with bougainvillea and jacaranda in bloom across the city's terraced hillsides.
The Sé Cathedral, Mercado dos Lavradores flower and fish market, and Funchal's historic Old Town are all within easy walking distance. The Monte cable car, with its famous Carros de Cesto wicker toboggan descent back towards the seafront, is a short ride away, as are the starting points for the island's network of levada irrigation-channel walks. The Madeira Botanical Garden sits uphill to the east. Committed to sustainable hospitality, the hotel sources at least 80% organic food and applies comprehensive waste and recycling policies.
