Stay on Trend at These 10 Ultra-Violet Hotels

At Dream Downtown, located across the street from Chelsea Market in New York City, you’ll want to make a beeline for Megu. Descend an infinity-mirrored staircase into this inventive restaurant located just below Dream Downtown that features creative high-end Japanese cuisine and cocktails. Here you’ll find an ambiance awash in shades of purple that range from violet to magenta to mulberry. Enjoy a playful selection of menu items, like edamame lollipops and crispy brussel sprouts, before saying "sweet dreams" in your hotel room up above.

At Aria Hotel Budapest, many of the rooms delight discerning guests with playful pops of violet, fuchsia and orchid. Window treatments, headboards, even tabletops, burst with refreshing shades of purple at this musically-inspired boutique hotel. Each of the 49 guestrooms honors a world-famous musician or composer, from Beethoven and Tchaikovsky to Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis. Every room is artfully designed and decorated with signature colors to capture the emotions associated with different styles of music, including jazz, classical, opera and contemporary.

One step inside the inviting LILT Lounge at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in downtown Miami and you’ll find yourself immersed in a sea of violets, fuchsias and purples. The seductive cocktail lounge offers a bold, colorful escape from the club scene. Feel the glow of the ultra violet lighting as you sip cocktails, like the delightfully fresh, Lavender Mule. Enjoy pops of color emanating from the purple fabric chairs and the backlit circular bar, even the purple swirl wall paneling.

At YOTEL, the signature color is purple, so expect to see all shades of this enchanting hue across their seven micro hotel properties, including YOTEL Boston, which opened in Boston’s Seaport in June. Violets and purples permeate guest rooms (known as cabins), mood lighting and accents in common spaces. Even outdoor signage welcomes guests with brightly-colored violet neon, beckoning guests in from the street for an experience that combines luxury essentials, like upscale toiletries, with cleverly designed small spaces.
