Developed by BD Hotels with hotelier Sean MacPherson alongside the Nora District partners, it is BD Hotels' first ground-up hotel outside New York. Stantec leads the architecture and New York studio Gachot designs the interiors, channeling Addison Mizner's Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival style through arched loggias, a garden and a lobby living room.

The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
