Art should be part of everyday life, something to experience, not simply look at. It’s central to ’s approach to creating storied, characterful spaces, where creativity and craftsmanship can be found at every turn. From sculptures and paintings to tapestries, found objects and curious treasures, each hotel brings together its own mix of artists, makers and craftspeople. From grand artwork and sculpture that define a space to smaller details that reward a closer look, there is always something new to discover with each visit.
