Designed by César Pelli, an architect of international legendary status, with interiors by Alexandra Champalimaud, a member of the Interior Design Hall of Fame, the hotel started off with an all-star design team. The result is a light-filled, modern classic interior with captivating art. The emphasis on detail is underlined by a subtle color scheme and the use of high quality materials. These include fine leather, brass, marble and Bohemian crystal glass.
