"My most vivid impression of Madeira is of a floating garden, set in the sea."
- Winston Churchill
ACCOMMODATIONS

The One Palácio da Anunciada, the five-star hotel located in the most exclusive area of Lisbon, a few metres from Avenida da Liberdade and Praça dos Restauradores. The establishment is housed in a 16th-century palace that maintains its essence and majesty with an interior design that emphasizes the building’s original beauty and provides comfort and exclusivity. Of note are its original perfectly restored ceilings, the natural light inside and its extensive 2,500 m² gardens which feature a protected hundred-year-old dragon tree. The hotel has elegant rooms, a full range of dining options, an outdoor pool, and the Despacio Spa.
Perched atop a dramatic cliff overlooking the Atlantic, Belmond Reid’s Palace is Madeira’s most legendary hotel, blending timeless elegance with breathtaking ocean views. Since 1891, this five-star retreat has hosted royalty, celebrities, and world leaders—including Winston Churchill, who famously painted its stunning surroundings.
