Scene
Modern hotel with excessive purple accents
Located
on a main road leading to Belfast city center, the Stormont Hotel is
housed in a nondescript four-story building with a huge adjacent
parking lot. The lobby area is bright and spacious thanks to its high
ceilings and tall windows. Purple is prevalent in the decor of the
hotel's public spaces: The lobby is filled with violet-colored
carpets with spiral designs, the seating areas are made up of purple
velour-covered sofas and
plush armchairs, and the stairwell is also covered in purple
carpeting. The large lobby area features a grand piano, with live
music often playing at Sunday brunches and special events. Public spaces are neat, tidy, and well-maintained, and the residential area -- with floor to ceiling windows -- provides another bright place to lounge. The
on-site restaurant and cocktail bar is very popular with locals, and
evenings and weekends can be quite busy. And overall the hotel is popular with
business travelers utilizing the conference facilities and couples on weekend city breaks.
