Developed by UOL, the 23-storey hotel features intricate and imaginative design by WOHA Architects.

Nature is architecturally celebrated with four high-volume terraced environments: Forest, Beach, Garden and Cloud.

Dramatic 120m green columns tower through the terraces, creating a spectacle of thriving flora.
