Scene
Boutique property blending period architecture and luxurious contemporary design
This
historic boutique hotel pulls out all the stops when it comes to its dramatic fusion
of classic architecture with innovative, ultra-modern
style. The five-story, UNESCO-recognized 13th-century stone houses make for an impressive exterior, while the stately lobby has high ceilings,
bright white walls, and striking chandeliers. Dark carpets and imposing
high-backed chairs in deep purple velvet are set against
floor-to-ceiling, theater-like curtains, contrasting with the simple but
stylish white front desk, low bench with colorful cushions, and large modern
wall canvases. Narrow but bright and elegant hallways continue the lobby’s
design, while the small but pleasant courtyard-like enclosed terrace
has attractive tile flooring. To enter the hotel, guests pass through its gated entrance and walk through a ground-floor
restaurant and climb lots of grand-looking stairs (there’s no
elevator).
