The Views Oásis hotel, formerly Four Views Oásis, reopened in 2020. The only unit from The Views hotel group outside the city of Funchal returned to activity, after a remodelling process, equipped with innovative refrigeration facilities.
Located next to Reis Magos beach, in Caniço (Madeira), the hotel restarted its operation presenting a new hygiene and safety program for a better response to the pandemic context. Common to the other units of the group and called “Maximum Care, Minimal Impact”, it aimed to ensure maximum safety for guests with the least possible impact on the experience provided to them.
Regarding the The Views Oásis remodelling process, FN hotelaria was the company responsible for the supply and installation of equipment for the pool bar and the restaurant kitchen, namely: refrigeration facilities, cold rooms, storage area, preparation areas, bakery and pastry areas, cooking areas, pantry, wine cellar, bar, show cooking and buffets.
The refrigeration installation carried out by FN hotelaria at The Views Oásis stands out for the innovative character of its CO2 operation, placing this project on a pioneering level in terms of sustainability and efficiency policies. CO2 is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that has been replacing synthetic HFC refrigerants (hydrofluorocarbons) with high GWP (Global Warming Potential). CO2 is one of the few sustainable refrigerants for food retail applications and has shown to be highly reliable in all climates. With reduced costs, it allows profitable operating costs.
Thus, not only was The Views Oásis the first hotel in Portugal to have a refrigeration facility of this type, but FN hotelaria was the first company in the sector in our country to carry out an installation of this nature in the hotel industry! This is an innovation that fills us with pride, for the opportunity we had to develop and execute a highly differentiating, efficient and, above all, sustainable solution, which we hope will set an example for many more hotel units in the future!
