The Do Colégio Hotel enjoys a privileged location within the historical centre of Ponta Delgada. This 19th century building, once home to the Regional School of Music and Colmeia College, and rich in historical and cultural interest, has been remodelled to create a classically designed, four-star hotel. Many of the building’s original features are still in evidence including stone flooring in the reception, TV lounge and bar.
The hotel has the added bonus of a swimming pool and secure free parking on site. The central location allows easy access to the town and the harbour area where the whale watching excursions depart from and also where you will find one of the three restaurants owner-managed by the hotel, namely ‘La Cantina’ located opposite the Portas do Mar Marina and serving Italian cuisine. A second restaurant/cafe can be found opposite the harbour promenade Confeitaria ‘A Colmeia’ serving cakes and light snacks and the third is on site at the hotel, restaurant Colmeia Asia serving Asian food and sushi.
