Hotel do Col??gio, located in the centre of Ponta Delgada, on S??o Miguel Island, emerged from the adaptation of a XIX century urban edifice. In its history this building was a respected school, and, most recently, served as a musical academy. This building is classified as architecturally and culturally valuable due to its architecture and the design of its details strongly influenced by the typical masonry and local basalt work, prevalent in the ornamentation of the main doors, the windows, the staircase, the arches and the stone slab flooring. With its history and its cultural tradition intact, this hotel has been divided into two wings: the Conservat??rio and the Col??gio, each in keeping with its past. Properly settled into S??o Miguel Island, be sure to take advantage of all it has to offer, from whale watching trips and the famous cuisine to the luxuriant landscape.
