The hotel enjoys one of the best locations in Funchal, an impressive setting overlooking Madeira's attractive capital, yet a 5 minutes walk to the harbour, restaurants and shopping centres. From its commanding position the hotel offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Cathedral, the old part of town, the marina and the ocean. Sharing the high-ground with Sao Joao Fortress, which was originally built in the 15th century to protect the city from pirate attacks and today gives its name to the hill where the The Views Baia stands.
