The hotel’s history was discovered by chance during the its 11-year-long construction and renovation. British architect John Pawson, who designed the hotel, in collaboration with local architect Ramy Gill, said that the team always believed the excavations would unearth something of historical value. That was indeed the case and both an ancient 13th century wall, as well as an ancient courtyard was discovered. The courtyard now hosts the hotel’s central courtyard and pool.
