Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel
Set on the cliff tops overlooking the Bay of Funchal and the Atlantic, Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel, has, for more than 130 years, been a standard-bearer for excellence. Scotsman William Reid, who in 1891 founded Madeira’s now most celebrated hotel, would take justifiable pride in the world-wide reputation rightly earned by this fine establishment. Many grand hotels with a history find it impossible to adapt to the changing needs of the modern market. Not so Reid’s, which has glided from generation to generation subtly adapting to new market needs, yet never discarding its classic style or forgetting its great heritage. The result today is a superbly comfortable resort hotel, which pays great attention to its individual guests’ requirements and sets the standard in that small club of truly great five-star hotels.
