Palacio de Seteais was built in 1783 as a summer retreat for the Dutch consul Daniel Gildemeester, later expanded by the Marquis of Marialva into the neoclassical palace, complete with a triumphal arch joining its two wings, that stands today above Sintra. The palace opened as a hotel in 1955 after restoration by the architect Raul Lino, and passed to the Valverde group in 2024 following Portugal's first public tender for its operation. Its terraces look out over the wooded hills that separate Sintra from the Atlantic coast.
