The 4 star Pestana Miramar Aparthotel is the Pestana Group's closest hotel to Funchal town. It has been built on the site of the historic Hotel Miramar and great care has been taken to retain a pleasantly nostalgic atmosphere in the architecture and landscaping.The former Hotel Miramar building now houses two restaurants, one cocktail bar, a lounge and four suites with superb views over Funchal Bay. All these areas have received special attention to decoration and art works are combined with classic furniture to create an atmosphere of luxury. The new buildings are set amidst beautiful tropical gardens and have been designed in a rural style, with terracotta tiled roofs and balconies embellished with balustrades in the typical local style. This new Hotel shares the extensive site and the services it offers with another Pestana Group Hotel, the Pestana Village Aparthotel. The Pestana Miramar Aparthotel is situated in the hotel district of Funchal and has splendid panoramic views over the bay and the natural amphitheatre formed by the mountains surrounding the town.It is only a few minutes away from the town centre and 20 minutes by car from Madeira International Airport.
