The hotel is located in the second phase of Al Seef, a new district of restaurants, cafes, shops and plazas, situated on a two-kilometre promenade on the south bank of Dubai Creek. 

The 22 homes are located in small clusters of two to three buildings joined by a bridge that provides a walkway above the souk and sharing a common courtyard. The design of the twin and king-bed guest rooms used aged materials that mimic rustic facades; and interiors that reflect Dubai's pearl diving history, trading and crafts.
