The focal point of the lobby embodies the intersection of jewelry and sculpture. Designed by North Carolina artist Sara West, this suspension of floating fabric creates a moment in the sky that represents the presence of our hotel in the Garment District. A smaller version of the art is available for purchase in the AC Store in chic necklace form.

A commissioned piece in the fitness center – yes, custom art in a hotel gym! – is the work of UK-based artist Sam Smythe. This sculptural work – crafted from layers of plexi, neon lights and mirror -- features a geometric collage that gives off a never-ending reflection and makes for a perfect spot to catch a quick selfie post-workout.

Other commissioned pieces in the hotel’s public spaces are by Steve Zolin, Bob Madden and Alyse Radenovic. William McClure created the artwork in Castell; Katie Merz painted the mural in Boqueria.
