"With a full belly and a full soul, you'll find the comfort and sophistication of the Reid's Palace hotel one of the ideal places to rest, and you'll be able to boast of sleeping in the same place where Winston Churchill spent his vacations. This authentic Madeiran icon has more than a century of history and is capable of offering a real journey through time, thanks to the various spaces that still retain many elements of their original decoration, although several rooms and other common areas have already been updated to suit contemporary tastes." - The MICHELIN Guide

"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
