The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look straight across the Gulf toward Ain Dubai, and large bathrooms include separate bathtubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
In-water daybeds and swim-up bar stools flank the outdoor pool, surrounded by palm trees and white umbrellas.
The spa and gym
A circular heated stone sits under an oculus in the marble bath, and the gym looks straight out to sea.
Bar
Lock, Stock & Barrel
Neon lighting and tall bar tables fill this multi-level pub, where a dedicated stage hosts live music and DJ sets.
At the table
Turquoise lays out international buffets on the terrace, and Godiva Café serves Belgian chocolates and pastries in the lobby.
How it began
Tabanlıoğlu Architects designed the faceted crystal towers, which opened in 2017 on the former Oasis Beach Hotel site.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
