Belmond Reid’ s
Palace
MADEIRA
This historic palatial hotel occupies a cliff-top location overlooking the Bay of Funchal and the Atlantic Ocean and yet nestles amongst semi-tropical gardens that descend the cliff-side. An aura of old-fashioned glamour and charm pervades the hotel but all manner of modern comforts are catered for. There are swimming pools, one of which is at sea level, gym and tennis. From William Restaurant with its Michelin-starred dining to Brisa do Mar with its fresh seafood, there is superb choice in dining at the hotel, whilst the centre of Funchal is less than 10 minutes by taxi or about 25 minutes on foot. Bedrooms are cosy and comfortable, furnished to the usual high standards of Belmond hotels. All have a balcony or patio. Madeira in the winter doesn’ t have to be all about luxurious relaxation. There are many activities and cultural experiences available.
