The rooms
Rooms feature cobalt accents and slatted wood paneling, keeping interiors bright, modern, and uncluttered.
The water park
Bring a swimsuit.
Four water slides twist through the grounds, and a 10-foot dive platform drops into an 11.5-foot plunge pool.
The spa and gym
A sunken marble whirlpool looks out over the ocean, and the gym is fitted with cardio machines and free weights.
At the table
Restaurants serve everything from brick-oven pizza to prime steaks, and open-air bars pour drinks steps from the sand.
How it began

Opened in 2021 within The Pointe development, the towers rose on waterfront land once used by the historic British Colonial Hotel.

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.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
