The Pestana Churchill Bay is a four-star pousada and historic hotel set directly on the bay of Câmara de Lobos — and the first hotel ever to open in the historic centre of the village.
The hotel occupies buildings of real local history: the former Council Chamber and the old fish wholesale market, on the seafront. Its theme is the village's most famous visitor: the hotel has rooms inspired by the paintings of Winston Churchill, and a full-size bronze statue of Churchill sits on its waterfront terrace, where poncha and other traditional drinks are served two steps from the water.
Among its facilities are a restaurant of regional flavours, a bar and esplanade, a panoramic rooftop pool and a sauna. Its position is unbeatable for a visit to the village — right on the bay, in the heart of the old fishing centre. The Pestana Churchill Bay suits visitors who want a characterful four-star base in the very heart of Câmara de Lobos.
