Rooftop Sunsets and Sleek Modernism in Funchal

"Next Hotel blends slick, modern design with a perfect location for exploring Funchal. The rooftop pool offers some of the most incredible ocean views on the island, and the rooms are beautifully sleek and comfortable. It is hard to find fault with such a polished stay, though the standard room pillows were a bit basic for my taste; fortunately, the attentive staff immediately brought out memory foam pillows the moment we asked."
