"A Michelin-starred, hotel-based restaurant helmed by an acclaimed chef that showcases elevated island ingredients in refined preparations; it occupies a cliffside setting with historic, tropical grounds and a seaside pool area, offering a high-end dining experience tied to the hotel’s storied character." - Austin Bush
"The hotel scene is also terrific, whether you're looking for a sleek newcomer like Les Suites at the Cliff Bay or the island's most glamorous address, Belmond Reid's Palace, which has been welcoming guests to its stunning clifftop perch for over a century." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Set on a cliff in 10 acres of subtropical gardens overlooking the Atlantic, this 5-star resort features an oceanfront spa, 3 swimming pools and direct access to oceanic waters. All rooms at Reid's Palace are elegantly furnished and include a balcony and marble bathroom with amenities. A mini-bar with complimentary soft drinks and free in-room movies are available to each room. Reid’s Palace Spa features indoor and outdoor therapy suites with a private whirlpool. It offers an indulgent menu of treatments using world-class spa brands. Dry and wet saunas are also on site. Active guests can play a match on the tennis courts, or get energized with cardiovascular equipment at the modern gym. Madeira's finest ingredients are brought to life at Michelin-starred William Restaurant, while the Villa Cipriani serves classic Italian dishes. The Dining Room organizes elegant soirees in Edwardian ambiance, during the winter season. Guests can indulge in our new culinary offerings, including a newly restyled bar with a tea library and the opening of Briza Do Mar, our new restaurant suspended over the Atlantic. A brand-new gelateria is also available. The Reid’s is 1.9 mi from Praia Formosa Beach and 15 minutes’ walk to Funchal city center with plenty of nightlife. It provides free private parking." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"If you’re finding Reid an unlikely name for a Portuguese fellow you’re not wrong. Reid’s Palace was founded over a century ago by a Scotsman of that name, long before the Belmond hotel group took over, back in the early stages of what’s now a full-fledged relationship between the British and the Portuguese island of Madeira. After all there’s so much to remind them of home, at least the island part, plus a significant improvement in the weather. So it is that everyone who was anyone, from Churchill on down, has spent some time here." - Tablet Hotels
The best hotel on the island. 5 star treatment. All the restaurants inside the grounds are top notch. Excellent spa too. Worth every Euro.
