About this hotel
Savoy Palace is an independent luxury hotel in Funchal, Madeira, opened in 2019. The property sits within Portugal's island submarket, where it serves as a focal point for travellers seeking refined accommodation with strong local connection. The hotel received World Travel Awards' recognition as Europe's Leading Luxury Hotel in 2025, a designation that reflects both architectural design and operational standards. Guests at Savoy Palace can expect contemporary facilities paired with the subtropical setting characteristic of Madeira, making the property particularly appealing to couples and discerning travellers seeking a quieter, nature-proximate alternative to mainland European city hotels. The independent ownership allows the property to maintain a distinct identity within the luxury tier.
