The hotel landscape reflects Emirati aesthetics and rituals, in particular the traditional role of the host and guest. Rich visual and sensory embellishment reflect the detailed and careful preparations required to receive and be received.

The layering and adornment of traditional jewellery is expressed through the landscape design by intricate embellishment and detail. Screens, paving patterns and engravings are adopted from Emirati culture.
