The image displays an exterior view of the Malmaison Dundee hotel, formerly the Tay Hotel, located on Whitehall Crescent adjacent to Slessor Gardens in Dundee, United Kingdom. The primary subject is a multi-story stone building featuring a distinctive grey mansard roof with two prominent oval dormer windows and a flagpole extending from its peak. White-framed rectangular windows are visible on the building's facade. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight under a clear, bright blue sky with a single small, wispy white cloud in the upper right quadrant. A small, dark bird is discernible in flight in the upper left sky. In the midground, two large Chusan Palm trees (Trachycarpus fortunei) with textured trunks and fan-shaped green fronds stand prominently in front of the hotel. Behind and to the sides of the building, dense clusters of various deciduous trees with dark green and some reddish-brown foliage are visible. The foreground consists of a landscaped garden area. It features a grey concrete planter or raised bed, populated with a variety of green plants, including grasses, feathery light-green foliage, and clusters of small purple flowers. No individuals or active interactions are present in the frame.
