The palace itself has no special features, but it just floats on the water and is really interesting. Passers-by have a chance to see Amberburg, even if it's inaccessible, because it's on the way downtown to Amberburg. The water palace gives the impression that it is not built on the island, but half submerged in the water, like a reservoir impounding a city, leaving only the tallest palace to emerge, and even a little sad.
