peer agreement (net): +1scenester + boutique hotel Explanation: I think your question should be "boutique hotel" since these two words go together. "Local scenester" also go together. A boutique hotel is a small, usually privately-owned hotel, very chic, stylishly decorated and just a few rooms, say, 15 to 50, and not the couple of hundreds in the Sheratons or Four Seasons. A scenester is a person who's "in", knows the right people and goes to the right places, to see and be seen. Wears the right clothes, dines in the right places and associates with the right people. Probably nothing pejorative in the term although there might be connotations of someone superficial. So your sentence is refering to someone who's at a party by the pool of a boutique hotel and this hotel evidently is THE place where locals who are hip and cool "hang". |
