The rooms
Ground-floor suites step directly into swim-up pools, and ocean-view suites have private hot tubs on their terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sunken wooden pergolas sit right in the water, and a swim-up bar pavilion faces the ocean.
The spa and gym
Underground hydrotherapy pools sit beneath open skylights, and the brick-arched gym is styled like an industrial rum distillery.
At the table
Brando’s sets tables inside woven nest booths, and Shutters Beachside serves Peruvian-Caribbean dishes in a bright room lined with shutters.
How it began
Architect Ken Shannon gave the 2019 build a double U-shaped footprint, angling the wings to maximize ocean views.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
