Our read

Reid's Palace is the hotel at Estrada Monumental 139. The page keeps the harbour below and the gardens on the grounds.

Come here for

  • Funchal, if the cliff above the harbour is the reason
  • Afternoon tea, if they are still serving it
  • A sea-view room, if you ask for one

Skip it if

  • You wanted the centre of a large city
  • A mountain lodge would suit you better

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Reid's Palace, a Belmond hotel, stands at Estrada Monumental 139, 9000-098 Funchal. The phone is +351 291 717171. They publish 126 rooms and suites: 79 double rooms, 31 junior suites, 14 suites, and 2 signature suites, including ones they name for Winston Churchill and Atlantica. Dining they name includes Brisa do Mar, Ristorante Villa Cipriani, and William Restaurant, which they describe as Michelin-starred. They also publish a traditional afternoon tea, three outdoor pools, subtropical gardens, and a gelateria. Madeira airport is about 20 minutes and central Funchal about 10, as they time those drives. A pet stay is listed at 35 euro a day, including a bed, water, and one meal. That fee is theirs. Confirm it. The hotel sits above the harbour. It is not a city-centre block and not Porto Santo, which they time at a two-hour ferry. Book on their page. MindReach does not take the reservation.
