Sailors and seafarers have long called in at Horta on their North Atlantic crossings, and Hotel do Canal takes its character from Faial’s maritime past. Its decor draws on sailing ships, cod-fishing boats and seaplanes, while its position on the town’s main street places it close to Peter’s Café Sport and the waterfront. Views reach across the sea to Pico, Portugal’s highest mountain. For company gatherings, two flexible conference rooms are equipped with modern audiovisual technology; both can also host banquets. Clipper is the hotel’s restaurant and bar, and dedicated wellness spaces focus on recovery for body and mind. Covered parking is available for guests arriving by car.
