4 Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Association Mondiale de la Gastronomie Location Madeira and the neighbouring island of Porto Santo are situated in the Atlantic off the West African coast, just north of the Canaries. Madeira is 36 miles long and 14 miles wide and has a population of approximately 300,000. History of Reid's Palace Reid's Palace Estrada Monumental , Funchal, Madeira, Tel: Fax: reservations@reidspalace.com When William Reid first stepped ashore in 1836, he was a 14-year-old cabin boy with just 5 to his name. Making a fortune in Madeira's flourishing wine trade, he later let farms to sun-seeking Northern European families and acquired hotels. Finally he was ready to realize his dream - to build the unique hotel that would bear his name. Finding a rocky site west of Funchal, he ordered it to be strewn with tons of rich soil, creating a foundation for the lush sub-tropical gardens that surround Reid's today. To create his dream, William Reid chose architect George Somers Clarke, whose reputation had already been established by Shepheard's Hotel in Cairo. Work began in 1887 but William Reid sadly died before the work was completed. The hotel was opened in November 1891 by his two sons, William and Alfred Reid.
