“We are thrilled to usher in a refresh for guests of The ART Hotel Denver with a new era of design and aesthetic,” said Alison Mitchell, general manager, ART Hotel Denver. “Staying true to our artistic ethos and the cultural roots of our surrounding community, we are committed to offering a captivating and exceptional experience to all.”

Spearheaded by TDA Interiors, the refresh of The ART Hotel Denver intends to keep the iconic artistic essence and neighborhood influence that serves as the basis of the property. Contemporary works grace the hotel’s two galleries, inspire its meeting rooms, spill into the hallways and adorn every guestroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the property with natural light, allowing each piece to fully be experienced.

Pops of color in the new custom furniture, paint and carpet seamlessly complement the hotel’s natural finishes, modern design and comprehensive art collection of original works of art celebrating the creative spirit of 20th– and 21st-century artists around the world. Each guestroom reflects a refreshed design concept featuring navy textured carpet accented by blue, yellow and green seating chairs; window drapery; colorful bedding fabric; and an upgraded bathroom with white Italian marble.

Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise

The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

The Shelbourne Review

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
