August 2026 stay at Reid's Palace, Funchal.
A wonderful, historic hotel with exceptional staff and gardens. A genuine pleasure for our seven nights and if can stay there, please go on both the (complimentary) Garden and Hotel Tour.
Absolute perfection!
My family of six went on our first adventure to Madeira, and Reid’s Palace was one of the highlights of our trip. The hotel is incredibly charming and kept absolutely immaculate. The staff truly goes above and beyond to accommodate any request. One little detail that stood out: on days when we were heading out to explore Madeira’s beaches, they sent us off with giant beach towels, perfectly wrapped in beautiful linen bags, at no additional cost. It was such a thoughtful touch and a great example of the level of service throughout our stay. The room service was excellent as well. And then there’s the setting—Reid’s Palace sits on a breathtaking cliff overlooking the ocean, and the views are simply stunning. Between the charm of the hotel, the exceptional service, and the spectacular location, it was truly one of the best parts of our Madeira adventure.
This is it. The nr 1.
The best hotel. Best restaurant. Best bar. Best view. Best everything. I pure delight to return to everytime im on Madeira. Sit down and relax and just take in the old world charm. Splendid service with superb location. Well worth every penny. To stay at Reids is to be part of history.

Classic and lovely
Went with two children, aged 11 and 7, easily accommodated in a large room with them on a sofa bed. The hotel made us feel special, the staff looked after us fantastically. In Reid's dining was delicious, and the concierge was generous with their time organising reservations anywhere else we fancied. Easy valet parking included, great for the rental car. Get the better rental car if you visit Madeira, the hills are crazy.

Timeless, elegant, perfect.
We had a pre-dinner Aperitif at Reid’s, and it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable, the welcome warm, the view beautiful. Elegance and timelessness at it’s very best.
