What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 50 rooms spread out, their full-length windows and domed ceilings working in tandem to open the interiors to the sky.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Along National Highway 8 in Samalka, secluded across eight acres of tranquil waterways near the airport.
The rooms
Domed ceilings rise over full-length windows facing the grounds. Eleven suites open directly onto private decks by the water.
Pool, hammam and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Canopied cabanas line the outdoor pool deck. A vaulted marble hammam and an open-air fitness pavilion sit along the water.
The spa
Private suites and open Thai massage areas sit beside a hair and beauty salon with travertine stone floors.
Restaurant
Chi Ni
Billowing fabric canopies shelter the hillcrest dining room, where chefs prepare Cantonese and Szechuan dishes overlooking the waterways.
IAH Bar
Curving crimson walls and circular cutouts shape the lounge, where bartenders pour rare single malts beside a live piano.
At the table
At Kiyan, an arched slatted dining hall opens onto waterside terraces serving seasonal Indian and European dishes.
How it began
The architecture draws on the five Hindu elements, pairing broad waterways with twenty-foot doors and Mughal-style Isfahan columns.
