Suite 210 - Dom Fernando II.
"Art is my kingdom." inspired by Dom Fernando II
Born a prince in Vienna, Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Kohary became King Fernando II of Portugal, yet at heart he remained what he had always wanted to be: an artist. It was never the glamour of politics but the brush, the etching needle and the joy of collecting beautiful things that shaped his life. Above Sintra he turned the ruins of a monastery into Pena Palace, a romantic fairytale castle he helped design right down to the park. When Greece offered him its crown, he declined.
He is remembered as a curious, unassuming man who loved art for its own sake. That spirit lives on in his suite, which looks out over the garden of the house his father built: a calm, warm place for guests who prefer to live beauty rather than display it. The canopy bed is its only royal concession. If you wish, open the connecting door to Suite 209 and meet Maria II, his queen.
