The hotel is a stunning new Urban Resort conceived by Ian Schrager in a partnership with Marriott International. Luxe, yet simple and modern, the hotel is a game-changer for the lifestyle hotel experience combining for the very first time not only great design and true innovation, but also great, personal, friendly, modern service as well as outstanding, one-of-a-kind food, beverage and entertainment offerings..."all under one roof". The modern lobby, with its long views and a play of natural forms and materials, suggest the colors and textures of a luxurious indoor shoreline.The mix of dark and whitewashed woods and sculpted shapes echoes the surfers paradise beyond its walls.
