Pestana Hotel Group

It’s been an extraordinary journey. In just 50 years, the Pestana Hotel Group has grown from a single hotel on the island of Madeira to more than 100 hotels on three continents. All the stories of the first 50 years of our life and all those yet to come can be found here.

Pestana Stories stem from the desire to discover and share good stories.

This inspiring project sees Pestana Group team up with Observador, to present the Group’s different brands from a fresh perspective that is both curious and attentive.

This site showcases the best stories told about Pestana Group in recent years, previously recounted in publications produced by the same partnership.

With many tales yet to be told, Pestana Stories remains an ongoing endeavour. Here you’ll find the reading in the areas of lifestyle, hotels and Pousadas, as well as information on the Pestana Group’s brands: in Portugal and around the world.
