MYRIAD by Sana is the latest hotel to reach the shortlist for the Hotel 50-200 Rooms Award, in the International Hotel and Property Awards 2013.

The two symbolic sails which embrace the tower blend in with the concrete structure in a perfect symbiosis. In the middle, a vertical transparent atrium diffuses light and allows for a breathtaking sea view. Hung from the 70-meter high ceiling, jellyfish-like chandeliers give the guests inside the panoramic lifts a sense of being part of the nautical world.

An immense lounge on the ground floor welcomes visitors, while an area developed around a central bar offers an informal and elegant place to stay, work, eat and drink. Light and transparency is present everywhere. The lounge is the “place to be” day and night all year round.

In the two wings, all 187 rooms and suites represent an innovative concept to get the most out of the sea and city views. Beds take the premium selected spot in front of the window while the remaining spaces also benefit from the outstanding vista. The cherry on top of the MYRIAD by Sana is the upper floor spa, with private pool, sauna, hamman, flotarium and treatment rooms; all with astonishing views.

The interior design extends and completes the architectural concept, bringing together contemporary style, comfort and sophistication. A silver and black colour palette, pointed with red details adds sophistication and cosmopolitanism to this unique ambience.
