"Completed in May 2004, this futuristic building is situated in a prime position overlooking the narrow straight between Faial and Pico (the Canal), very close to the Pico ferry departure point and the yacht marina and a few steps from the famous Peter’s Café Sport. This setting puts Hotel do Canal on the maritime front of Horta displaying a breathtaking view over the city bay and Pico Mountain.
The property offers superior hospitality in your moments of leisure, relaxation or business with its 4 floors featuring 97 rooms, 2 full suites, 2 junior suites and 2 rooms for guests with disabilities. Hotel do Canal also has its own restaurant.
The decoration is quite remarkable with ocean's motifs in the hotel's interior telling guests the history of Faial Island, where tradition dictates that there should always be a safe port. Hotel do Canal is indisputably your sheltering port in this Island.
Finally, for guests’ relaxation there is Jacuzzi, Turkish bath, sauna, massage, beautician and to keep in shape a fitness center and gymnasium."

The Biologist stayed here for 5 nights in September 2010. The rooms were very updated and contemporary in appearance. The shower had great water pressure. The continental breakfast had a great selection of items and offered some of the wonderful Azorean cheeses (yum). A great place to stay on Faial Island.
