Nah - 'classy' is not a subjective term; it pertains to particular qualities; elegance, refinement, understatement.
And nor is 'stylish'. Style, by its own definition, conforms to a certain sense of what's fashionable - be that contemporary fashion, or a more timeless (classy) look.
That Kushtown horror is not in any way classy. It could be considered stylish, if it is indeed indicative of the sort of thing that prevails right now; I wouldn't know on that score.
Of course, individual tastes are purely subjective, but adjectives like 'classy' and 'stylish' subscribe to more collective sensibilities. That's why such words exist; to specify not that something looks good, but by what manner it achieves this.
