Hotel do Colégio is a boutique hotel housed in a 19th-century manor house built during the golden age of the orange trade between Ponta Delgada and England. With a privileged location in the historic city center, Hotel do Colégio uniquely combines old-world charm with modern comforts. In 2017, the hotel underwent a complete renovation, enhancing its ambiance, image, and decor while maintaining its commitment to excellent service. The hotel has two wings: Colégio (School) and Conservatório (Conservatory). Colégio, the newer wing, houses 45 standard rooms. Its name pays homage to A Colmeia (The Beehive) school, a local institution. Room numbers are cleverly marked on a ruler design along the corridor, and the school theme continues within the well-equipped rooms, ensuring guest comfort. Conservatório, the historic wing, retains architectural details from the original 19th-century house. In the 20th century, it housed the Regional Conservatory of Music of Ponta Delgada. This musical heritage inspires the decor of its 14 rooms: 12 superior rooms, one suite, and one junior suite, each named after a traditional Azorean song. Guests in this wing enjoy the same conveniences as the standard rooms with the added benefit of a quieter atmosphere.
