of the context in which these words appear - a travel brochure, an industry assessment, criticism such as on "Trip Advisor" etc. etc. Without this background, I think any answers here will simply be guesses.

The opposite of "soulless" is not "soulful", but "with soul". The problem is that "soulful" has come to be associated with strong, sad and sorrowful emotion: not what a hotel should be offering! So, you need to make the client aware that the writer, by selecting the wrong word in the source text, has expressed something they probably didn't intend.

Welcome to KudoZ!

Really, this is a distortion of the traditional meaning of 'soulful' — as in "the dog looked up at me with soulful eyes" — but of course here it is addressing the criticism of many modern hotels, that they are cold and soulless; so in a sense, it is 'un hôtel qui a une âme'; as such, it is I think advisable to steer clear of 'standard' descriptions, which in the hotel industry tend to have a specific range of meanings. This is almost in the same vein of feeling as an hotel 'à l'échelle de l'homme / à taille humaine'.
