World famous, Orient-Express luxury hotel in Funchal

Set in 10 acres of lush, sub-tropical gardens with breathtaking views of Funchal Bay, the elegant and world-famous Reid’s Palace offers impeccable standards of courtesy and service.

" I had the advantage of staying at Reid’s Palace so got a real feel for it. It is very plush, has the wow factor. I loved the cocktail bar which had amazing views and also the tea terrace. The service was superb and my room was very luxurious. It is also in a nice location with easy access to town and there are plenty of things going on within the hotel.
I would recommend this property to couples and families of all ages (I’m 30), who are looking for traditional 5 star luxury..."
