agree  Roman Lutz: That sounds good to me!
1 hr
  -> Thanks, Roman.

neutral  philgoddard: This is kind of a mixed metaphor, because gems can be described in lots of ways, but they're not welcoming.
4 hrs
  -> True - it is mixed. But isn't it the nature of metaphors that one thing borrows from another?

with comfort and beauty in mind


Explanation:
Hotels seem to use this one a lot in their advertising..

Every area of the hotel is designed with comfort and beauty in mind

From source below:
"Every area of the hotel is uniquely designed with comfort and beauty in mind as part of an architectural masterpiece. "

agree  Horst Huber (X): Yes, the real rpoblem is the awkward word "Bereich". The idea is, not so much the whole hotel in all, but each small corner is inviting. Anything wrong with "jewel"? --- So welcome. Still, we don't want it too compact, rather, a sense of cozy spaces.

  -> Thanks Horst. Google came up with a "lavish jewel" of a hotel in San Sebastian!

change it dramatically for literacy: see below


Explanation:
The opulent ambiance of elegantly interwoven domains; (list of areas),
embraces our guests like returning royalty, which is what they are.

Not so happy with the ending, but I think it really needs to turned around to be appealing.
