Reid’s Palace – Hotel of dreams

Around all Madeira island is a lot of places to stay for holiday. There are have many options to choose: hotels, apartments, private rooms and more. Today I would like to focus on the most luxury place on Madeira which is Reid’s Palace. It is located around one kilometer on the west from garden parque de Santa Caterina in Funchal. This place is the most well known, because of level of luxury, high standard, perfect service and famous guests. In this hotel stayed celebrities like prime minister or Great Britain – Winston Churchill, actors Roger Moore and Gregory Peck, poet Rainer Maria Rilke and many more. You can expect there gorgeous panoramic views, innovative cuisine and the superb service of a bygone era.

The idea of build the luxury hotel had Willinam Reid. This guy many years rented private apartaments for tourists. Unfortunetly he died two years before finish of construction. His idea continued his sons – Alfred and William. Finally they opened New Reid’s Hotel in 1891! Fast people started to called this place: REID”S PALACE.
