"Opened in 2020, this harbourside hotel stitches together four blue-shuttered townhouses and palazzos overlooking the Grand Harbor; the best views come from the rooftop dining terrace, interiors were created by several imaginative European design studios (including Istanbul’s Autoban), bedrooms feel flamboyant with fan-like golden bedheads and bespoke tropical wallpaper, the spa is immersive, and the restaurant is steered by Simon Rogan." - Rick Jordan

"A row of four antique townhouses renovated by the Istanbul-based architectural studio Autoban into an ultra-luxe lodging that’s eclectic in its design and totally contemporary in its comforts. The name is an accurate description of the location, facing right out over the harbor; the vibe, thanks to its small size, is ultra-private and ultra-discreet." - Mitchell Friedman
