The concept of the hotel complex exterior and interior decoration was developed with participation of Zurab Tsereteli, a famous muralist, painter and sculptor. The essential idea underlying the artistic concept is the poetic world of the Crimean legends. The main building of the hotel reminds one of an ocean liner crowned with a light boat of the ancient seamen. The copper storiated high relief composition above the grand entrance to the hotel is called the Legends of Crimea and features the silhouette of the Mount Ayu-Dag, the founders of the city of Yalta, the orchards and villages of the first inhabitants of the Crimean South Coast, the heroes of the Crimean legend about the Adalars (the winged boys), and Maria from the legend of the Bakhchisaray Palace captive. The central hotel lobby used to be decorated with a laced decoration in the shape of a fishing net. The entrance to the Marble restaurant had marble quadrae of fine bas-relief representing the light dance of the girls from the ancient Greek town of Chersonessus. Such distinct signs of the hand of the grand master of arts can be noticed in almost all of the hotel complex premises.
