Pestana Palace, National monument and hotel in Alcântara, Portugal.

The Pestana Palace features marble finishes, ceiling frescoes, and French-influenced decorative elements throughout its luxurious interior spaces and royal suites.

The palace construction began in 1904 under Italian architect Nicola Bigaglia for José Luís Constantino Dias, who accumulated wealth from coffee plantations in São Tomé.

The palace reflects Portuguese architectural evolution through its design contributions from multiple architects, including Miguel Ventura Terra and José Ferreira da Costa.

The hotel contains four royal suites within the original palace structure, plus two additional wings that were constructed to accommodate more guest rooms.

The property includes an oriental-style Lake House pavilion from the late 19th century, surrounded by classical gardens with a swimming pool.
