The Savoy Palace in Funchal is Madeira’s biggest hotel launch to date – but is it worth the hype?
“Madeira – not a holiday destination I’d ever really thought of really – but when I was invited to stay at the newly opened Savoy Palace hotel – the newest 5-star property on the island – I thought it was time to give this Portugal holiday haven a little try. Soft launches can be risky as this is the time when a hotel irons out any kinks and, perhaps, doesn’t open in its entirety. As a result, prices are lowered for holiday go-ers, which is great because you could get a 5-star holiday for less but you do run the risk of slow service and teething problems with staff. I didn’t particularly notice that during my time at the Savoy Palace. My personal favourite spot was on the 16th floor with a small infinity pool. may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page.
