Scene
Nature-themed, contemporary hotel that draws couples
Though Hotel Yasmin occupies an elegant neoclassical building with a cream-colored stone facade, its decor is decidedly modern. Inside the lobby, the nature theme is immediately evident, extending throughout common areas. The black-tile floors are decorated with white leaves; walls are painted grassy green; and leaf-print designs cover a large mirror behind the long white reception desk. Several globe-like chrome lamps dangle overhead, furthering the slightly trendy, youthful vibe. The main restaurant has the same chrome lights, as well
as wooden floors, white and black futuristic chairs, and large tree-like sculptures. One of the nicest parts of the property is a lovely outdoor courtyard with a
wooden deck, white tables, and tan woven chairs shaded by white
umbrellas. Couples are the primary guests here, drawn to the hotel for its
modern design and good location near dining, shopping, and some of the city's most-visited sights.
