The hotel building has a star plan scheme which enables to create alternative recreational areas in addition to providing sea view to 70% of the hotel rooms.A wide courtyard that hosts the main recreation area is designed with terraces, pergolas and swimming pools.

While the solid parapets and floor slabs emphasize continuity and horizontality at the facades, the glass surfaces add dynamism to the facades of the building through the color changes caused by the movement of the sun reflected on the glass. The project received Highly Commended Award at European Property Awards 2014 in Hotel Architecture category.
