JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts teams with Christie’s to bring travelers an event series focused on luxury goods and shopping. Christie’s hosts luxury auctions worldwide, featuring everything from art to collectibles to wine, with prices ranging from $200 to more than $100 million. The Conversation with Christie’s events are paired with a video and article series tailored to collectors. Different hotels across the globe plan to host individual events and showcase the items on display for the themed evening, all of which are available for purchase. A Christie’s specialist hosts each event and provides educational information regarding the items. The first event is held this evening at the JW Marriott London Grosvenor House and focuses on vintage handbags from Hermès, Chanel and more. Other upcoming events are at the JW Marriott Chicago, Sept. 27, focusing on baseball memorabilia; and at the JW Marriott Hong Kong, Nov. 18, featuring handcrafted timepieces from Patek Philippe and Rolex. The video series is shot at the Christie’s flagship office in New York and includes interviews with Christie’s specialists. The videos are available this month on the Marriott brand channels. “The Conversations with Christie’s series provides a unique insight into the world of collecting and auctions through the eyes of several leading experts,” said Lydia Fenet, international director of strategic partnerships, Christie’s. “We originally launched our partnership with Christie’s in order to deliver enriching experiences around art and culture at JW properties around the world. More than five successful years later, we are excited to introduce Conversations with Christie’s, which speaks to the personal interests and passions of both guests and Christie’s clients,” said Mitzi Gaskins, vice president, luxury brand management and guest experience, Marriott International.
