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."

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."
