When the hotel was being constructed, the architects and developers wanted to combine maritime history and modern design. When you look directly at the building, you can see its similarity to a tall ship with the masts raised. The curvature of the mirrored glass not only bears a striking resemblance to sails blowing in the wind but serves a dual purpose of reflecting the light, water and neighborhood surrounding the property.
