Concierge "Considered one of the world's top hotels for more than a century—just about every politico, celebrity, and member of European nobility since 1891 has stayed here."
Fodor's "On a rocky point surrounded by 10 acres of gardens, Reid's—which opened in 1891 and is now part of the Orient-Express brand—is a destination as much as Madeira itself." Full review
Frommer's "The legendary place to stay in Funchal is Reid's, founded in 1891 by William Reid but now owned by the Orient Express." Full review
Michelin Guide "Renowned for old world charm and exacting service, it was here that Sir Winston Churchill Wrote his war memoirs, and where George Bernard Shaw learned to tango."

"Funchal's first hotel is still Madeira's top address for the smart set, despite the luxury glass-and-steel additions to the Hotel Zone that grew up around Reid's." Full review
Independent "The hotel still hosts its afternoon tea, treating you with freshly-baked scones, finger sandwiches, champagne and a 20+ tea selection...so get glammed up and embrace the front row ocean views."
