Concierge "A 19th-century country manor houses the restaurant; the 43 guest rooms occupy one of those 1960s-style glass houses normally seen hanging off cliffs in the Hollywood Hills."
Fodor's "This boutique hotel artfully combines tradition with designer flare, facing a delightful 3-acre semi-tropical garden in a quiet part of town." Full review

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."

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"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
