There are several ways in which hotel wall art can elevate the guest experience. The right wall art can create certain moods or reinforce the interior design style. Boutique and luxury hotels wanting to differentiate from no-frills properties such as Motel 6 should seek out custom artwork rather than mass-produced prints on poster paper. First impressions matter so the hotel lobby and public spaces such as lounges or elevators are especially important and suitable for large art installations such as my 50 foot custom wall mural at the McCarren Hotel & Spa in Brooklyn.
When it comes to hotels with a regional theme it makes sense to work with photographers who specialize in that region. Working with solo artists such as myself can help ensure a cohesive style to the artwork rather than just picking random pieces from a pool of artists. Some hotels might have an interesting story that calls for specific artwork such as the Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa in Monterey. This historic hotel was constructed in 1824 by Esteban Munras who also happened to paint the murals located inside the Mission San Miguel Arcangel chapel. I worked with a gallery in Carmel who created this art installation in the lobby of the hotel.
