Highlights

  • Art sculpture in hotel lobby

    The Etymology of the Baroque

    Feel a sense of wonder from the moment you step into our Hotel’s lobby with its 13-metre (43-foot) illuminated spiral stairway. Also taking centre stage, British artist Marc Quinn’s “The Etymology of the Baroque” – a lavish bronze orchid sculpture – is framed by stunning rings of light with orange flowers that echo the Hotel-wide burnt umber tones, reflective of a Kuwait sunset.

  • Framed Porcelain and Gold Leafed Pomegranates

    Canadian artist Alissa Coe channels nature’s abundance in “Framed Porcelain and Gold Leafed Pomegranates” – an elegant, handcrafted diptych hand leafed in gold – while the quiet and minimalist “Framed Photograph” by Adam Katseff incorporates themes of the elemental, ideally placed by the Hotel’s prayer rooms.
  • A paper mache installation that looks like a minimal bees hive hangs from the ceiling in a neutral lobby corridor

    Hand-cut crystal chandelier

    Even our lobby chandeliers are pieces of art. Redefining the traditional notion of a grand chandelier, interior design firm Yabu Pushelberg worked with global glassware company LASVIT to create an iconic crystal sculpture installation – the world’s largest crystal – suspended in the centre of our lobby. Elsewhere in the lobby, a sizable brass chandelier by VISO Lighting of Toronto comprises an artistic orchestration of rectangular metal tubes aligned through gravitational studies and pieced together with no visible screws.

Steven Naifeh’s Saida series

In the Saida series, Naifeh isolates the essential elements of important examples of Islamic architecture and transforms them into a series of wall and floor installations. The individual components in these radiating amalgamations of squares are crafted from painted canvas, plated metals, and limestone and granite.They are formatted to create cumulative star-like holes, underscoring the compositions’ modular nature and the strict mathematical progression that defines the relationship of the parts to the whole.
