Sultan Palace is an impressive example of Islamic architecture enriched by European and colonial influences. Its most distinctive feature is the high-domed central tower, complemented by domed pavilions at the corners and slender minarets that give the building a dramatic vertical profile. The façade is articulated by a series of multi-foliated arches, creating a richly rhythmic and highly ornamental exterior.

The palace’s interiors are equally elaborate. A grand drawing room forms an important focal space, featuring a fireplace, decorative moldings, and an ornamental ceiling enhanced with gold powder. The front block contains a monumental marble staircase and rooms with teak wall panelling, while the rear section follows a more traditional courtyard-oriented plan. Decorative ceilings, carved details, and carefully finished interior surfaces demonstrate the craftsmanship invested in the residence.

White marble, stone, timber, and decorative metalwork form important elements of the palace’s material palette. Together with its domes, arches, minarets, carved details, and richly ornamented interiors, these materials create a distinctive architectural synthesis of Islamic, indigenous and European influences.
