One hundred years ago, upon its opening, Reid’s Palace was the embodiment of grandeur, elegance and charm. Today, this Orient-Express Hotel enjoys the same reputation, further enhanced by its impressive guest list of royalty and dignitaries. Within easy walking distance of Funchal, the island’s capital, Reid’s Palace is an excellent base to explore the colonial and modern day culture of this enchanting island. Extensively renovated throughout 2006, Reid’s Palace seamlessly blends Anglo-Portuguese tradition with modern comfort and contemporary style. All rooms and suites are generously proportioned and individually decorated with light and fresh fabrics. Private balconies offer views across the calm Atlantic waters of Funchal Bay or towards the lush, sub-tropical gardens which envelop the hotel. Marble bathrooms, air-conditioning, cable TV & video and mini-bar are standard facilities in each room. A plethora of dining options await guests from the formal Edwardian Dining Room to the relaxed al–fresco Villa Cipriani with its panoramic views across Funchal harbour. Further à la carte dining is provided at Les Faunes (winter), and Brisa do Mar (summer). Enjoy tea on the terrace, a world famous Reid’s tradition or simply relax in the tranquil library absorbing the peace and serenity which are synonymous with this hotel.

Guests looking for a little exertion can enjoy the hotel’s three outdoor pools (2 heated), tennis courts, gymnasium and abundance of water sports including windsurfing, scuba-diving, snorkelling and deep sea fishing. After a morning’s golf on one of the nearby courses (one 18 hole and one 27 hole), indulge mind, body and soul at the magnificent hotel Spa. Reid’s commitment to the highest levels of service is not lost on the hotel’s younger guests. ‘Fun@Reid’s’ offers activities (5 days per week, daily in school holidays) from 10.00am to 5.00pm for children aged 3-9 years. Children can also take advantage of the escorted dining service allowing parents to enjoy an exotic cocktail at the hotel’s bar which offers live entertainment each night. Consistently enjoying the accolade of being one of the world’s finest hotels, Reid’s Palace is a true retreat from urban living.
