agree  Catharine Cellier-Smart: clearer but less stylish :-) // I think it tends to be these bars and restaurants which are all name and no substance ... ;-)

  -> stylish, smylish...isn't it funny the way hotels, usually ones that have posh, traditional sounding names, come up with trendy names for their restaurant, bar, spa etc. as if to say "we're not really like that!".

disagree  Tony M: If you check out the actual establishment, this is not the proper name of the bar, and in fact, they themselves use a different word in the same place...

scene!
happening


Explanation:
According to the hotel's own website, this is not the proper name of the Lobby Bar — in fact, they describe this bar as 'happening'. I think, therefore, that the few instances of 'scene!' found in relation to this bar on the 'Net all seem to originate from the same source text, copied and for some reason modified from the hotel's own source text, which one has to assume would be definitive.

I quote:

"There is a number of restaurants and bars that appeal to the fine diner and entertainment seeker, such as the international Le Jardin du Royal, the Titanic piano bar and the happening Lobby Bar. In winter, the Sunday buffets are everyone’s favorites, while in summer, the Barbecue nights by the pool are popular with the in-crowds. The restaurants feature live music bands on certain nights, while the Ikebana night club hosts entertaining comedy shows."
