Scene
Charming upscale boutique hotel with lovely gardens, patios, and elegant interiors
This charming boutique hotel retains many historic original features
and has the cozy feel of a home accompanied by modern comforts and a tranquil
atmosphere. The property has lovely gardens full of lush greenery -- the grounds are dotted with palm trees, tropical plants, climbing vines, and patios furnished
with comfortable seating. Original details throughout, like gorgeous decorative
tiles and beautiful restored doors and windows, lend historic charm to the
interiors. A black-and-white
checkerboard floor complemented by deep red walls and wooden furnishings and
ceiling beams provide a striking backdrop for the lobby. A white, round ottoman gives seating at the center of the
space, while an arresting oil painting adorns one of the walls. Potted
plants throughout deliver a refreshing burst of green. The adjoining open-air
lounge area holds more seating, with several elegant armchairs and a
wood-framed sofa clustered around a coffee table. The bolder color choices are
exchanged here for soft shades, with cream-colored walls and textiles that are
a nice setting for lovely clay tile floors. The space overlooks a beautiful
garden with a water feature skirted in lush plants and vines romantically
covering the walls. There are several charming patio spaces such as this one,
furnished with elegant and comfortable seating and even hammocks, all offering
an idyllic, serene respite.
