Interviewed for "Hotels as Art Galleries: Here's Some of the Most Impressive Exhibits on Display" 2016
"The hotel was searching for a new direction," says Capobianco. "They liked the idea of taking pictures of parks... and needed about 60 pieces to fill all seven floors." Capobianco's creation includes timelines about each park's history, collages, and photographs.
"Because New York is constantly redefining itself, the hotel wanted to do an ode to history and also talk about the present day," the young artist says of her work. "So when you come off the elevator on each floor in the hotel, you see a light box that tells you about that park, and then you turn to go into your room and there are images of the park along the way."

"The 131 guestrooms, designed by New York-based studio ABI Design, feature minimal modern, Art Deco-style details with bespoke dark cherry furniture, bedding, and chandeliers. In tribute to the glamor of the 1930s, a color palette of warm champagne, gray, and cream tones permeates the interiors corresponding with materials like satin and velvet. All closets and bathrooms received upgrades, and images of New York parks from photographer Nicole Capobianco’s “City Respite” photo series grace corridor walls."
