The Reid’s Palace hotel in the heart of the Madera archipelago opens onto the Bay of Funchal from the heights of the capital. This classical style five star hotel complex welcomes guests into an elegant, refined palace universe. The chic, luxurious and luminous 163 rooms and 35 suites are pastel colored and offer upscale comforts. The interiors open onto the ocean and the Portuguese horizon, casting a veil of perfection over this Scottish owned address. From the spa salons to the tennis courts, Reid’s Palace celebrates the gentleness of island living. Under the watchful eye of its chef, the Ristorante Villa Cipriani proposes a refined cuisine with delicious Mediterranean specialties.

Funchal

Every year, Madeira welcomes a huge number of visitors in search of a small patch of paradise, only a few hours from the major European capitals and where the sun shines all year long, since one of the principal qualities of the Atlantic Ocean Portuguese island is its limited rainfall and it relatively mild temperatures 365 days a year! Another quality is its warm atmosphere and its very hospitable inhabitants.

Funchal, the island’s largest city, offers visitors a variety of activities designed to discover the local culture. In addition to its numerous gardens with their delicious aromas that one finds all over the city, there are centuries old churches and the former wine cellars where tourists can delve into the mysteries behind the production of the island’s world famous Madeira wine. Folklore also plays an important role here and is present during all festivals and celebrations. In February for example, the Mardi Gras festival fills the island with music. During the flower festival in April, a magnificent cortege passes through the streets of Funchal, and at the end of summer, the grape harvest is another cause for celebration. Finally, on New year’s Eve, there’s a superb fireworks display of the Bay of Funchal which attracts tourists who choose Funchal to ring out the old and ring in the new!

A multi-starred chic an refined complex

The majestic Reid’s Palace on the island of Madeira is located at the end of a cliff overlooking the magnificent Bay of Funchal. This superb hotel five-star complex has an irreproachable staff and a great deal of upscale equipment. Reid’s Palace assures its guests of a very pleasant vacation in the heart of one of Europe’s most gentle and hospitable regions.

The complex’s 163 rooms and 35 suites offer guests an elegant and chic atmosphere, generous pastel tinted spaces, decorated in a pure classical style. The beds are large, the furniture in wood, the walls decorated with paintings and handsome mirrors, the bathrooms in marble, and of course, there’s a television and a mini-bar. All the rooms face either the hotel’s lush garden or the ocean. The suites however, have lovely terraces with a table and chairs and an exceptional view.

Guests seeking a moment of total relaxation can take advantage of the treatments and massages administered in the peaceful setting of the spa, equipped with several cabins including double suite with a terrace and a swimming pool. A sauna and a hammam are also available.

More energetic guests can use the tennis courts and the fitness center. Finally, the hotel’s two outdoor swimming pools and their terraces are the ideal spots to enjoy the sun. Several tables are reserved for guests at the Park restaurant for breakfast and the Terrace restaurant, next to the pool, for a lunch under the charming parasols. Dinner is the moment to try the refined French cuisine at the Briso do Mar or traditional Italian gastronomic dishes at the Ristorante Villa Cipriani.

This classic and luxurious hotel opened for the first time in 1891 thanks to the ambitious Scotsman, William Reid. Throughout history, Reid’s has received some very famous guests, including Winston Churchill. One of the suites pays tribute to him by bearing his name.
