Reid’s Palace, A Belmond Hotel
A clifftop haven.
To step through the doors of Belmond Reid’s Palace is to enter a world of timeless elegance. Hotel has been welcoming guests for more than 125 years. George Bernard Shaw learnt to tango here, Churchill came to write his memoirs and paint. Suites are named after both, and decor throughout embraces old-world charm.
On the edge of the Atlantic.
At Belmond Reid’s Palace, luxury is tinged with nostalgia. Rock in a wicker chair as waves crash against the cliffs below or make your way downstairs for a game of bridge. Snooker and billiards are always popular. Don’t leave without taking afternoon tea. Set on our famed checkered terrace, it’s a time honoured tradition. Madeira cakes are a mouthwatering treat while looking out over the bay.
Paradise.
The great outdoors attracts many to the island. The subtropical gardens soothe and enchant. Stroll through acres of orchids and palms or soak up the sun at one of three pools. Head to the sea-level platform for a refreshing Atlantic dip before treating yourself to an alfresco massage. With the warm breeze blowing, you’ll feel you’re in paradise.
A moonlit dinner on the terrace.
From tropical breakfasts at our Pool Terrace to cool aperitifs at our Cocktail Bar, food and drink always come with sweeping Atlantic views. Michelin-starred William Restaurant pairs elegant plates with floor to ceiling panoramas, while Ristorante Villa Cipriani boasts some of the island’s best Italian cuisine. Sit on the romantic terrace and try risotto with pigeon or sweet potato gnocchi.
