Reid’s Palace A Belmond Hotel Madeira

in our eyes

Founded in 1891 by the Scotsman William Reid, Reid’s Palace was originally conceived as a haven for travellers arriving on ocean liners. It embodies the romantic golden age of luxury, wealth and aristocracy. Even today, the hotel preserves its graceful elegance while seamlessly pairing it with modern comfort. As one of Madeira’s most celebrated luxury hotels, it offers a sense of history combined with contemporary indulgence that continues to draw travellers from around the world.

Best time to travel
